One of the things that never got implemented in umbraco for some odd reason was showing property descriptions when you edit a page. As you might know, you can add a description on a property when editing a Document Type. This could contain handy information that could be of great use for the editors.

However, in the current released version of umbraco it's not used at all, which I got reminded by an "umbraco Pro" customer who asked why? The answer is simple - it was simply forgotten. The fix was easy and I've just committed the change to CodePlex.

Now there's an option in /config/umbracoSettings.config to show descriptions as text, help icons with tooltip or no descriptions at all :

description-text

description-icon

This change will be a part of the 3.1 distribution. I hope you like it and if there's similar things you wonder about, make sure to submit a frustration!
