Sharepoint List - Form view to show the column description?

Hi, I just realised that the formatting for a Microsoft List item in form view can be edited by entering some JSON in the "Configure Layout" option. My question is, can the JSON formatting be tweaked...

Unfortunately, this is not possible using SharePoint JSON formatting. Body layout formatting does not support advanced customizations like header/footer/column/view formatting.

 

Unlike the header and the footer, body configuration only allows defining one or more sections and adding one or more columns into each of those sections.

 

Documentation: Configure custom body with one or more sections 

 

Solution: You have to customize the list form using Power Apps to customize column description and achieve your requirements.
