I had a column named Number in SharePoint List. And I added descriptions in column description area.
I can see the description when adding new items. But cannot see it when editing items.
I want to see it when editing items. Do you have any solution to solve it?

    Hi @eric-3590
    There is some little difference when we edit item by double clicking it and clicking "Edit".

    This is the form we get by double click:

    This is the form we get by clicking "Edit":

    We could notice that the description will appear when we click "Eidt"
