You can add descriptions to properties which is very useful for general administration. But this description is only displayed to end users from records if you hit the details button. It would be very helpful if overlay text was displayed when you hovered over the property label (or an info icon) on HubSpot record views, HubSpot All Property view and Pipeline Dependent Property Forms. ---

That would be fine if we could add HTML and CSS to the HubSpot UX, but alas we cannot 🙂 ---

Indeed, it would be super useful, particularly with conditional properties displayed when a deal moves from one deal stage to another ! ---

Agreed on this. Would be extremely helpful for all the custom properties we use. ---

This is a great idea especially when we have created quite a few properties for our deals. ---

the description should be desplayed at least when hovering over, but for me ideally it should be displayed underneath the name of the column in smaller font. ---

Absolutely, it would be incredibly useful, especially with conditional properties that display as a deal progresses from one stage to the next. ---
