Labels alone sometimes aren't enough—users need extra guidance.

Built with nested flex-col and gap-1 grouping label with description, the described textarea adds context—perfect for complex fields needing clarification, optional details explaining constraints, character limits, formatting requirements, or any multi-line input where brief additional text helps users understand what to enter without cluttering with verbose labels.
