    I have a Custom Post Type called "job" and it has a custom field called "start_date" like so:

    
            array (
                'id' => $prefix . 'start_date',
                'type' => 'date',
                'name' => esc_html__( 'APEX Start Date', 'text-domain' ),
                'label_description' => esc_html__( '(Estimated)', 'text-domain' ),
                'autocomplete' => 'off',
            ),

    In my theme, I have a template file called single-job.php and I can display the actual value from the DB using <?php echo rwmb_meta( 'end_date' ); ?>

    How can I display the field name & label_description ?

    And is there a support article or any other page with info on this? I couldn't find anything.

    Thanks, as always!

    I figured this out by using:

    <?php echo rwmb_get_field_settings( 'end_date' )['name']; ?>
    to display the field's Label (from the General tab)

    <?php echo rwmb_get_field_settings( 'end_date' )['desc']; ?>
    to display the field's Description (from the General tab)

    <?php echo rwmb_get_field_settings( 'end_date' )['label_description']; ?>
    to display the Label Description (under the Appearance tab)

    <?php echo rwmb_meta( 'end_date' ); ?>
    to display the field's value stored in the DB
