Description
A number of our inlines require instructions for our staff, presented just under the H2 of the inline fieldset. Presently, I am using javascript to insert this after the page loads, but it would be much cleaner if this were available through a "description" property of the inline class (and maybe a "description_template" property for longer or more complex descriptions). I'm aware that something like this exists for fieldsets, but seems like it could be made more readily available as its own separate property. Also, we almost exclusively use tabular inlines, for which the description is hidden. Not sure why that would be the case, but that won't work for our usage case. Any way we might add this feature in the near future?

Thanks for this ticket, however the Django admin is not a universal tool for building an app. We have soooo many options to customize things that adding a new one is always controversial. Please first start a discussion on the DevelopersMailingList, where you'll reach a wider audience, and follow the guidelines with regards to requesting features.
You can also try to use one of support channels, folks may have ideas how to override something to get the same effect without using JS.
