Description
Custom fields often require additional explanations for developers. It is possible to resolve this problem by adding popups that will appear when user points mouse over a custom field.
Attached patch provides a solution for this problem:
- In trac.ini, new property field.hint can be used;
- In generated HTML, hints are implemented using HTML title attribute.

0.12 I meant (i.e. not necessarily for 0.11, but why not if done part of the workflow changes…)

The patch above adds the .hint option to custom ticket fields, and if present, adds a title attribute to the control corresponding to the field. Radio buttons are grouped in a <span> to set the title for all at once.

I like the idea of hints - they are useful. However, I'm very unsure about adding features for custom fields until we have an idea about what the future holds for fields in general (0.13+ seems to have field refactoring on the agenda):
- We would then have hints for custom fields, but not for regular fields.
- 0.12 translates labels for regular fields, but not custom fields.
- Hints (as all help) should be translatable in some way…

Re-scheduling for 0.13, as this could be in the way of i18n.

#925 may be related, and maybe a solution using javascript at http://trac-hacks.org/wiki/BlackMagicTicketTweaksPlugin

This is indeed a much improved version of the patch here. Closing as a duplicate of #9648.
