We want to often give the description to driven's properties on comment form.
In the case of CCK fields, help text field is provided. But in the case of properties by which it comes from other modules, it might not be provided(e.g. Workflow's states property).

So, could you provide the description field by driven module?

not quite sure what you're requesting
lets take for instance the screenshot you provided at #758086-13: Support workflow states
http://drupal.org/files/issues/works_perfectly_with_6.14_0.png

the schedule time has its description as well as the comment, both of them provided by workflow

are you requesting to add a description to a form element which currently doesn't have it?
if so, it would be either:
- a request to workflow module to provide a description (whether configurable or not)
- or a request to your developers to make a tiny custom module to add such description in a form_alter

or it is something else you're asking for?

BTW, if I understood properly, then this issue would be a "won't fix"
since this module won't afford touching/altering what is not expressly required to perform the intended functionality (otherwise bug reports and feature requests would be endlessly)
think that whatever you might wan't to achieve can be done to node_form (via hook_form_alter) and automatically it will be reflected by comment_driven if it is exposed as an enabled driven property

Yes, it is easily solvable by myself.
But if it is supported by driven module, I thought that it is more useful.

Would you reconsider?

lets wait to heard what other users have to say

FYI, when a property already has description, I think it is useful to override it.
Because, description which is different in node creation and comment post could be given.

Here you have a couple of working modules
(one is the driven property behavior and the other one is the one altering descriptions for comment driven)

I'm still skeptical to include these into Driven API and Comment driven respectively
users' votes will have the last word

I hope you'll enjoy them,
I also would recommend you to read the code (150 lines altogether)
so you can learn how easy can be a behavior (Driven API) done and how to use it (in this case for onto comment_driven, but it can be on anything related to a node_form, another example would be Node Edition Policy)

fixed a minor imperceptible misnamed default value,
but relevant if you intend to extend these module's functionality later

Thank you so much, arhak!
I'll enjoy with these modules for a while, and then learn Driven API with your code :)
