We would like to use project description field to explain to project collaborators the guidelines of a certain project = how to behave (how to move tasks, how to tag them, when to add them) in the context of that project.
We find description field perfect for this, but it’s so small and even when it expands it stays small and users need to scroll to read through it. And there’s this huge white available space that could make it such a good guidelines space for users to see every-time they open the project. Almost like a sticky note to everyone.
I think the Description box should become a Notes box. We constantly use that box for working instructions or meeting notes, and it would be great to have more space.
For now, if the instructions are too big, we just attach a document to the task.
I agree, there is a lot of space unused and it’s a pity. Also I find it irritating that after clicking on “See more…” the scrollable window is immediately editable. I think it would be enough to be able to edit the project description only after clicking on an other Edit button, similarly to the Project name that was earlier editable and now one has to click on “Edit name & description” to change it.
For me the project description is a place for general reference, with important links and project goals and I don’t want to see it accidentally changed, especially when there is no available version history that can be found in tasks descriptions.
We always have many supporting links for projects that we would love to store in the project but are are not task specific. The project description appeared to be perfect place to keep a list of those. It supports embedded linking, however the field is a fixed size (too small!) and clips the content making it hard to see and navigate the content. Can you please change the style on this field to let it expand vertically?!!
Thank you both for your feedback! We already have a thread on this topic, so I’ve gone ahead and merged this thread with the existing one; feel free to add your vote to the main thread as votes don’t carry over when threads are merged.
I think I could implement this in 5 minutes with my limited CSS knowledge. Looks like it’s been about a year and a half since being suggested - so we’re roughly 777,595 minutes off.
Would like this side bar to be able to extend for the description. I hate clicking into it to see more, and my coworkers don’t know there are resources I’ve added in the description area.
