I agree whole-heartedly with Kevin.

So, trolling for opinions, what do y'all think should appear in "What's
This" help?

In our app, we provide:

* Field Name
* Whether it is Optional or Required to complete the panel
* A description of what it does, what other areas of the app it affects, why
you want to use it, etc.
* An expected value (example, alphanumeric value up to 255 characters
including symbols except for the question mark)
* An example
