I don't think there is any issue with creating such a custom field. Can you please clarify your problem/request is ? |

OK, I get it now. You can't do this with the custom field's name because that's what it is -- a name, not really a description, which is used as caption when no corresponding language string exists for the custom field. The right way to do this is by localizing the custom field's label, per documentation [1]. This allows unrestricted text, and even lets you use limited HTML tags (depending on your settings for $g_html_valid_tags_single_line). |
