Attribute limitation

Hi,

I've found a slight limitation to attributes that I htink makes an interesting (though probably difficult to implement) sugestion:

I want to add a description of my attributes to help people filling out input forms. To make this editable from a web based interface I have to add the description to the "Name" field of the attribute, a simplified example:

Summary (a few words to describe your article)

At the moment "(a few words to describe your article)" will appear in the view template, which isn't really a good option. My solution at the moment is to hard code "(a few words to describe your article)" into the template and pipe with i18n. This isn't the best solution because anyone who wants to change this description needs an understanding ofthe layout of the design directory of EZ Publish.

My suggestion:

Add a field to attributes which allows this kind of description to be added.

Regards,

James
