Description

Description

I tried to search if anyone had already proposed this, but I couldn't find anything. In case this has already been mentioned, please excuse me and delete the thread.
It would be veeery nice if there was the possibility to add a description to the various fields we create, so as to make everything easier to understand without having to dwell on the names of the fields themselves (mine have become very very very long). Finally, it would be even more beautiful if these descriptions written by us appeared later when we place the pointer on the relevant fields.
In the hope of having explained myself, I still post some screenshots of what I mean (LibreOffice Base).
Thanks in advance to all!
