## Description

### Before filing a report

*Before you file a report, please ensure you are running the latest version of OpenProject and*   
*have searched for similar bug reports.*

### Steps to reproduce

*Please write down the steps to reproduce. Try to write down all necessary preconditions (what permissions do you have, are other users involved?). Example:*

1.  Login as a user with permissions to edit project description and status widgets on project home page, and system administration rights

2.  Go to Admin -\> Attribute help text -\> Projects tab -\> Click the **+ Attribute help text button** -\> Select "Description"-\> Define caption and help text

3.  Go to a project home page, overview tab

4.  Edit the *Description* widget in-line
    
    5\. Then go to a project dashboard tab and compare the same widget
    
    <br>

### What is the buggy behavior?

  - Attribute caption is only shown when the editing starts

  - Caption is shown, help text is not

  - Icon for attribute help text (?) is shown under Dashboard tab, but not under the Overview tab
    
    <br>

### What is the expected behavior?

  - Status description gets a label so it's clearer: "Status description". If a help text is defined, the question mark is shown there.

  - In Overview and Dashboard, the little help text icon will be shown after the widget title
    
      - The status button does not show an additional help text icon

  - Show the caption for project description in read mode too (since we already do it elsewhere; in the right pane on the Overview for example).
