Use of Tokens in CCK Field Help Text [#1032810]

Hi,

I am using Drupal 6, Tokens, Token Filter, and CCK and am trying to insert a token into the help text field in cck (i.e. the help text that CCK lets you enter with each new data field. The text is then presented to the user completing the form). We have set up our default input format to accept tokens and have successfully used tokens such as [token global site-name] on pages and stories. However, there does not seem to be a way via the admin to enable token filter for this field in cck.

Is there a way to do this in the admin? If no, and custom code is required, any suggestions on how to approach this?

Thanks for the great module and any guidance you can provide.

Mike

CCK field descriptions do not have anything to do with Input formats, so support for this would likely be better put into either Token module or CCK for Drupal 6.
