Hi all, is there a feature in Umbraco that allows me (as a developer) to leave instructions on a Content item (for an editor to read when they are creating pages)?
Something similar to the Description field that accompanies each property of a document type, but where the property doesn't actually contain anything that is user editable.
Forgive the photoshop but something like this, where I can set the green text as instructions and an editor cannot change them.
I have never come across this feature, but does it exist?
Is there a property in a page editor that only contains instructions?

Hi Paul,
I think that you could use the label property. The Label property is a non-editable control, can only be used to display a pre-set text.
Hope this helps,

Hi Dennis
I tried to add a test property but it is showing me like that. How can i add value in label field.
Hi Manish,
This is how the property works. Another option is of cause to create your own property editor, so does what you are after.
You can find some documentation on how to do so, here https://umbraco.tv/videos/umbraco-v7/developer/extending/property-editors/introduction/ or https://github.com/umbraco/AngularWorkbook
Hope this helps,
