maybe make this a more information box instead to differentiate from description? I'm not sure what you're trying to elicit here that's not covered by description...maybe a why do you think this bug is happening?
label: More information
description: Any other information that may be helpful in understanding this bug
placeholder: |
* Has this worked before? anything different this time?
* What are the conditions under which this bug happens? input parameters, edge cases, etc?
* any theories about what's triggering this bug?suggested fixes is another field

Taken over your suggestions (with some minor rewording) but in the description not in the placeholder.

was gonna open a PR for this, but since you're tweaking - we should be consistent about capitalization in one direction or the other (all caps, sentence case)

Also on the dev docs the version isn't under the logo, so that part of the form should probably be changed too: |

Hmm, that's problematic; it's missing from anywhere visible if you aren't on the front page. |

The permanence of the version will be resolved in the theme by the version switcher pydata/pydata-sphinx-theme#433 (comment). Agreed that we have to adapt the wording. |

I think most suggestions are a question of style of the field descriptions: Do we want
I'm for the latter. I find the forms really off-putting. I wouldn't want to fill in many fields and then even read long context descriptions. The shorter the better. |
what about an alternative of clearer titles and explanations as part of the place holders. Basically I made everything imperative 'cause I didn't find the descriptions instructive. |
|
Clearer titles is definitively a win, where we can find them. E.g. I was trying to remove placeholders as much as possible. Maybe it's their style (the placeholder text color is quite strong), but I have the impression that fields with a placeholder are already filled in. And empty field visually calls to be filled, with a placeholder that's lost to me. |
