It's still on the to-do list, but other more requested features took precedence for this release.

It may make the final 1.5 release or may end up in 1.6. I'm not sure just yet.</p> <p>In the mean time, you can use a little bit of jQuery added to your theme header or page template to move the descriptions above the fields. The snippet below assumes you already have jQuery properly enqueued in your theme.</p> <p>EDIT: Make sure you place this snippet AFTER where the jQuery library is enqueued.. right before the &lt;/ head&gt; tag is a good choice.</p> <pre><code>&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt; jQuery(document).ready(function() { jQuery(&#39;.gfield_description&#39;).each(function(i,e){ fielddesc = jQuery(&#39;&lt;div&gt;&#39;).append(jQuery(e).clone()).remove().html(); jQuery(e).siblings(&#39;label.gfield_label&#39;).after(fielddesc); jQuery(e).remove(); }); }); &lt;/script&gt;</code></pre> <p>You may have to tweak the description CSS to change the margins, padding a bit. It depends on your theme and your preferences. </p> https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/topic/request-setting-to-place-field-descriptions-above-fields#post-12693 Sun, 14 Nov 2010 21:29:27 +0000 freelanceweb 12693@https://legacy.forums.gravityhelp.com/ <p>Placing information about what to enter *after* a field seems backwards.</p> <p>Describing what's needed *before* presenting a field for it makes more sense. I actually think that should be the default behavior, or at least configurable.</p> <p>I realize there are ways to hack Gravity Forms into reordering things but it would be a great option. </p> <p>There is a similar topic on this but it's closed and I'd really want to +1 the idea. :) </p>
