The issue description gives you details about the issue. It's important to write descriptions so that other users can understand and follow the content and workflow. For example, if an issue concerns bugs in developing software, writing in the description about how the bugs occurred will help the developers team understand the scenario and resolve it quickly. Similarly, if this is a customer support issue, the support staff will use the description to explain the customers’ questions.
You can easily add or edit your issue descriptions on the issue registration page.
