 * I’m not sure if this is a bug or intended, but I’m trying to add a helptext to
   a readonly field – No matter what I do the helptext doesn’t show.
 * Is it possible to change this in the php?

 * It’s true that the helptext for readonly fields is not shown in the participant
   record form. I plan to change this in the next release because it isn’t necessary.
 * You can fix this yourself now in the plugin file PDb_Field_Item.class.php on 
   line 347, just comment out the “return” statement link this:
 * `// return;`
