Research direction

Reproduce the issue by creating a blueprint with a Bard field, a set, and a Text field with instructions. Start by comparing the instruction-position options for a Text field inside a Bard set with those for a regular field. Done when Below can be selected for the field inside the set.

bard
Bug description

When modelling a new content type, I was using Bard with sets. I added a new set for displaying a left-aligned image.

After adding the instructions, I wanted to make them consistent with the instructions used by the other sets in the collection. While editing the instructions, I noticed that I was unable to select Below as an option.

How to reproduce
  1. Create a blueprint.
  2. Add a Bard field.
  3. Add a set to the Bard field.
  4. Add a Text field to the set.
  5. Add instructions to the Text field.
  6. Attempt to select Below as the instruction position.
