seirerman commentedSame here on 8.x-3.0-alpha3.
In my case it's the title of the paragraph, and that's it.

sergiu stici commentedHere is the patch, please review.
Comment #4
seirerman commentedThe help text is now shown, but only if "Always use default value" is off. It would also be better if the help text would be shown before the viewfield options, not after.
But thanks for the patch!

jerdavisI've updated and pushed this forward. As for the position of the help text, that's a result of the layout of fieldset.html.twig. We'd need to override that template in order to reposition the help text or use a different container.
