I'd like create some static content (text) in the form when creating a new update set. This static text would be just above (nor next to) the NAME field on the form. The static text would describe our required naming convention for update sets.
I know how to put a "hint" into a field, but I'd like to add static text above the label or to the right of the text box for the name where I could display our naming convention.
I've seen other forms where something similar is done (ref the Project plugin, when you create a new portfolio, there is text at the bottom of the page describing the steps for creating a new portfolio).
Does anyone have a recommendation?

For static content you could use form annotations, or if you needed something a little more dynamic you could use field messages.
