Descriptions of checklists
For every template, you can define a description that can help people to better understand the purpose of filling out the generated checklist.

Show the title and description on Jira work items
In the Didit panel on a Jira work item, each checklist’s title and description are hidden at first. To always show them, open the Didit hub, choose “User settings,” and turn on Show title and description on work items. The setting only changes what you see. Show/Hide title and description in the Didit panel’s ”…” menu still does it for one work item.
