There is a "good" way to do it. Renderers accept an array of labels so you can have: $labels = array('Branch', 'This is the branch that you will update'); $form->addElement('text', 'Branch', $labels); After that, you'll have to modify your template, depending on the renderer you use to take care of the second label. I think this is shown in some examples in the docs directory. But using static is not a bad way neither IMO. Bertrand Mansion Mamasam
