When displaying form field in Admin Console it consists of 2 main parts:
- title
- control (e.g. dropdown)
The "title" is combined from these elements:
- text - coming from phrase in "title" parameter OR from text in "title_text" parameter
- required mark
- coming from field configuration - : - always displayed
- hint icon - displays hint from "direct_label" or "title" parameter
Unfortunately, when "title" parameter is empty, then hint icon is displayed, but hint text is only "!!":
Solution
In the "FieldHintLabel" tag, use value of "title_label" tag parameter only, when it's not empty.
