Is there a way to append text below a field in the Modern Designer?

I have a solution for appending text below a field in the Classic designer by creating a div element and setting it's parent to the field via JS. Since the modern designer does not allow adding elements or changing parents, is there any way to do this?

The goal is to show the original value of the field after the user selects a new value. These are fields in a table so I can't just add another hidden field to the form below it. I need to append the text directly below the existing field.

Can you use the subtext/textBelow property of a field through the LFForm object help?

You can get the current field's text with
 

const formFields = { needsPrevValueField: { fieldId: 15 } };
const prevTextBelow = LFForm.findFields(f => f.fieldId === 15)[0].subtext ?? '';
const defaultValue = LFForm.getFieldValues(formFields.needsPrevValueField);
LFForm.changeFieldSettings(formFields.needsPrevValueField, {
    subtext: `${prevTextBelow} (default: ${defaultValue})`
});
