Add description to form field object - method missing

[gebeer]

Hello,

I'm trying to add a custom description to my formfield

$serverField = $modules->get("InputfieldText");
$serverField->label = "Server Name";
$serverField->attr("id+name","servername");
$serverField->attr("value",$prefillServer);
$serverField->attr("class","form-control");
$serverField->description("description","Desc");// need right syntax here. Or is the method missing
$serverForm->append($serverField);

I get an error:

Method InputfieldText::description does not exist

I looked at InputfieldText.module and there is no method for adding a description. Shouldn't there be one?

Couldn't find anything in the API cheatsheet that would let me do that.

How would I then go about adding a description to a form field?

$serverField = $modules->get("InputfieldText");

$serverField->label = "Server Name";

$serverField->attr("id+name","servername");

$serverField->attr("value",$prefillServer);

$serverField->attr("class","form-control");

$serverField->description = "this is my description";//this is the right syntax

$serverForm->append($serverField);
