Reported here: https://meta.discourse.org/t/labels-and-descriptions-missing-from…-nested-object-settings/394685 Descriptions for nested object settings were not being displayed due to a mismatch in locale key formatting. Stripping `.schema.properties.` so that the locale keys from the serializer match the keys expected in the template fixes it Before: <img width="600" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/1e0ab4c6-e6eb-478d-97bc-76f16739135b" /> After: <img width="600" alt="image" src="https://github.com/user-attachments/assets/a9a9e64c-4efa-4807-94a1-dd853ffd9f04" />
