If a task has any comments, an icon will appear with the # of comments. Same for the subtasks - if there are any subtasks, a subtask icon will appear with the number of subtasks. However, if there is only a description - there is no indicator that there is content inside the subtask and users don’t know to check inside for more details.
@Seth_Harlaar correct there isn’t any indicator of this, but I suppose you could probably create your own indicator with a tiny bit of work.
You could create a custom task type with two statuses, maybe one that says “See Description” and one for “Complete”.
Then, create a rule for whenever a description is changed, check if the task is not in your project and if the description field is not empty, then it will convert that subtask to your custom task type.
Now, whenever a description is added to your subtasks, it should display like this as an indicator either in your list view or in the parent task’s pane.
You could also create another rule for when your subtask is completed, it converts it back to the default task type that way you keep everything clean.
Definitely not as clean as an official built in indicator but I think it would do the job.
