Problem/Motivation

When using the Inline Entity Form field widget for multiple values, the field renders as a fieldset. Label help does not display.

This image shows an Entityreference field using the select widget and label help shows fine.

Entityreference field with label help displayed

When I change the widget to Inline Entity Form—Multiple values the label help no longer displays.

Entity reference field inline entity, no label help

The workaround is to use the default help text area that displays in the appropriate location because this widget renders as a fieldset, but it makes for inconsistent field configuration to rely on Label Help in most cases and the default help field in some instances. We’re still working this out as a small detail and hope to contribute another patch to label help to address this.

Proposed resolution

Patch Label Help to support either the specific case of Inline Entity Form field widget or support for fieldsets in general (still testing).

I'm not entirely sure this is a duplicate of #2513488: Add Label Help support for fields in embedded Inline Entity Form but that issue has a patch that might solve this issue as well. Marking postponed until someone can confirm that either does or doesn't solve this one.
