Add Inline Help for Fields

[Nicholas-Westby]

It can be challenging to know what each type of field is when choosing from them in the field picker when creating a form. For example, the "Text Constant" field can be particularly tricky to understand. It would be useful to add some sort of inline help next to each field to help clarify what the field is.

I'm thinking rich text would work well (perhaps displayed when clicking a "Learn More" link or something of that sort). That way, an image could be part of the rich text (a screenshot of the field). The more conceptual fields could have just text describing the behavior and use cases, and they could even have diagrams.

Another idea would be to embed this inline help into the area that displays the field in the back office. We already sort of do that for some fields (by displaying a read only version of the field). That has the downside that the field actually needs to be created before seeing the help; that's an extra barrier somebody has to pass to get the help they need, and they probably wouldn't even know that they need to do that to get the help. So not ideal, but could work in a pinch.
