TextBlock description in editing panel

The site has been in existence for a very long time so I guess I would have to set up another specially named text block to get a short description to show up in the editing screen. Right now I have Label 1, Label 2 and if I ask for the label to show it puts the whole text block there. I did not find a discussion of this issue by using the search box, but maybe I am not using the correct search terms. This is only to show on the editing screen

Any suggestions on the best way to do this. Do not want to mess up anything on the site that is already there.

What are you trying to achieve? I can't figure it out from what you've said.

In the cms editing area I have a multiple text block screen where the content is labelled label 1 label 2. I want those labels to be a family name unique for each separate text box. Since I have lots of text boxes on the site I am afraid to change the generic textbox template. How do I get this to work.

Create a copy of the template, relabel the fields, then swap the region to use the new template.
