Feedback ยท Give auto suggestions separate description and explanation fields, and fix the former (accepted)

related to Clarify automatic suggestion's description-box

Those who read feedback regularly will have noticed that automatic profile option suggestions are regularly filled out incorrectly: the description field is used to talk about the feedback itself, when it's supposed to be the profile option description that will enter the system.

This isn't their mistake. The description field's placeholder text instructs authors to fill it out wrong. That needs fixing.

The author's description of their own feedback is useful too, though, and they should still be able to do that in the feedback itself.

So I suggest:

  • fix the current description field's placeholder
  • add a second field for authors to talk about their feedback

The latter shouldn't be used to make up for an inadequate description, but some people want to provide extra details, and in trait suggestions it could be used to elaborate on the kinds of categories the author sees being added.

I support the notion, actually both of them.
