I’m interested in trying out [experimental form templates](https://meta.discourse.org/t/introducing-experimental-form-templates/278631) to create an interactive form for submitting support requests, for an open source software project.

One thing that seems to be missing is the ability to add instructions for how to complete the form. It’s possible to add a description for each field, but not overall instructions at the top of the form. Such things as:

- explanation of support provided
- before submitting, please read the docs (with links)
- use a good title and tags
- don’t provide passwords or personally identifiable info, etc
- review the topic afterwards and make any edits needed
