Order custom fields not displaying field instructions

[rob-baker-ar]

Description

(Upgraded to Commerce 3 from 2)

I have various custom fields attached to orders - the field names and their data is visible when clicking an order in CMS Interface > Commerce > Orders > [click an order for it's detail]. However, instructions set on the custom fields (that normally appear below the field name but above the form element) are not showing.

Steps to reproduce

1. Add custom field to order with instructions
2. View an order details screen - instructions not showing.

Looks like instructions only show up when you are in order edit mode and the custom fields are editable. Changing this would be the decision of Craft core. Moving the issue there.

Thanks @lukeholder,

Edit order mode is new to me - I think before I started updating to Commerce 3 (i.e. in Commerce 2) edit mode was either the default or there was no read-only mode.

It would be helpful to show instructions when in read-only mode as the text contained does not always refer to edits.

Just fixed this for the next Craft release.

Craft 3.4.16 is out now with that change.
