User story

As a editor or creator of metadata records I want to be clear about what I need to enter into each field of the record.

Describe the idea

Currently the help text for fields shows up after the field input. When looking at this initially it took me a moment to disconnect the field name and help text as they had a close relationship visually. The relationship would be clearer to me personally if the help text was moved directly below the field name creating a clear relationship between the three pieces (field name, help text and field input).

Idea is to engage UX team (potentially IMB resources) to determine standards and/or test if this is an issue other users have.

We will increase the space between the input fields. This has been done on the record form, I see it was overlooked for the data dictionary. This will help users better understand related items (rule of proximity). We can decide on moving the help text later. See #410
