A React select dropdown with FieldDescription positioned above the SelectTrigger providing context before user makes selection

Sometimes users need context before choosing—format requirements, warnings, consequences. This React select uses shadcn/ui Field component with FieldDescription positioned before SelectTrigger for Priority Level explaining Higher priority items will be processed first. Built with FieldLabel, FieldDescription, then Select ordering, helper text appears before interaction—perfect for selects with consequences, fields needing upfront explanation, warning messages, or anywhere users benefit from information before making selection.
