 * We have a taxonomy (Classifications) that is a critical input for editors. Each
   classification has an associated description that tells the editor which kinds
   of posts can be assigned that classification. Currently editors must display 
   the list of classifications and carefully review the description of each in order
   to set the classification properly. I would like to have this functionality embedded
   in the Post Edit screen.
 * Alternatives:
    1. Display a new uneditable field that displays the taxonomy “description” once
       the editor has selected a taxonomy. This field would have to be next to the 
       taxonomy field.
    2. Display the ‘description’ text once the editor has selected the taxonomy.
 * I have no idea how to do this and I have no php knowledge.

 * Hello,
 * Thanks for the feedback!
 * Unfortunately this feature doesn’t exist out-of-the-box either in ACF or ACF 
   Extended. You’ll have to code it yourself, using the ACF JS API ([see documentation](https://www.advancedcustomfields.com/resources/javascript-api/))
   for example. But it will require some advanced development.
 * Other than that, you might get more chance on [your other topic on this subject](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-description-when-taxonomy-value-is-selected/)
   on the ACF repo.
 * Thanks!
 * Regards.
