Disable Allowed Content Types Description in CMS 12 Edit View
In CMS 12 Episerver Edit interface we noticed a new feature: above all ContentArea fields, a description appears listing allowed content types (Refer attachment).We’d like to have this removed. It seems to add more confusion than clarity for our editors. We already enforce allowed content types using the [AllowedTypes] attribute in code, so displaying the full list in the UI—especially including unrelated options like Episerver Forms elements—is unnecessary and distracting.
This description wasn’t present in CMS 11, and we would prefer to maintain that cleaner editor experience.

This feature will be released together with an option to toggle the behavior.

In the CMS Editor, when a content area has AllowedTypes specified, it always lists types that are not allowed in the hint text. However, the list that's not allowed is not complete.
We expect the only the types that are allowed to be listed.
Example
[AllowedTypes(typeof(CustomDataAttributeBlock]
public virtual ContentArea? GAAttributes { get; set; }
CMS Editor shows:
Only Custom Attribute Block types, but not Form elements, Form step, Rich text (with placeholders, or Form Location URL.
Expected:
Only Custom Attribute Block types
