Fixed this by creating my own custom acf field. the new custom field gets a field name and does get_field(“myfieldname”) on the render_field() function. This shows any field entered to render into the edit section. I could have a wysiwyg show up as long fancy instructions for the user to read. Better way to work up a sign up form with fancy text or a popup terms and agreement. the only thing left now is to hide the labels which I can easily do with css.
function render_field( $field ) {
$id = $field['field_idname'];
if(get_field($id,'options')){
echo get_field($id,'options');
}
}
