    Hi Shivshankar, the Help Text is intended to be used as instructions for populating the field and is only displayed when editing or creating a record. In addition, it is only displayed for editable fields. Since calculated fields are not editable, it won't be displayed for your field. Here is an example of an editable field I created with help text:

    And here is the documentation that talks about the Help Text and Comment Text options: Studio > Field Options.

    Sorry I don't have a better answer for you! Maybe someone else knows of a way to display text that I'm not thinking of.
