Ability to add a description to a design, to explain what the design is used for

To clarify – I don’t mean the standard “Description” attribute that can be added to designs to be used on items within the design. I mean an optional core description on the “General” tab that can hold text explaining what the design is used for, who makes use of it, what it links to, what information a lookup list holds, or anything else relevant to the users.

I think this would help anyone viewing the design – whether it’s IT users who have configured Alloy, new/existing business users of the system, or Yotta support when investigating issues – understand at a glance what the design is used for. Given that the names of designs have to be concise, it may not be obvious what a design is just going by the name of it.

Please see the attached image as an example.

    Very good point about those other areas, Adam. Great examples that would help everyone as well.

    This would be awesome to have for everything - for interfaces, workflows, imports, etc. Ideally also the Core and Module Designs/Interfaces would come with their own descriptions.
