Help text not displaying on text area field

Problem/Motivation

Help text does not appear for text area (formatted text) fields.

Steps to reproduce

  • Create a Text (formatted, long, with summary) field and include help text.
  • Create a field group using the field_group module. Not sure this is relevant but including just in case.
  • Under Manage form display, place the field inside the field group.
  • Edit an entity of the type/bundle you configured the field for. There will be no help text above the field.

Proposed resolution

I'll attach a patch or merge request to add an additional elseif statement which checks for base_type == textarea and attaches the help text to $form[$key]['widget'][0]['#label_suffix']. Currently the logic attaches the help text to $form[$key]['widget'][0]['value']['#field_prefix'] which causes the help text not to render.
