Item/Task Description in 'List & Table View'.

Ideally it would be very helpful & more productive to have the ability to see 'Description' for any item in the 'List View'.
Technically this can be done by adding a 'new long text' field as well, however that would mean we are duplicating the text/content, as the Description for the task/item is already written in the Description Column.
So please, consider the feature of displayed 'Description' field info in a Column under list-view.

Good Afternoon- can someone from Clickup Advise if this is being created? Using a custom field for description so that it can appear as a column feels like a very subpar solution.

It's amazing that this is still on the waiting list!! Why haven't they added it yet??? Hover over the icon isn't very useful when the icon in the description is constantly changing places!!

Ideally, I believe this feature should offer flexibility with the option to either wrap text or truncate. Additionally, a “show more” option for vertical expansion would be useful for those who only want more control and expand or collapse some descriptions. This would allow users to choose between having a fixed row height or having it expand dynamically to accommodate wrapped content.
By implementing these options, ClickUp could cater to various user preferences, whether they prefer a locked row height, a dynamic row height, or a combination via the “show more” functionality.
Furthermore, in both List/Table view, it would be helpful to have a preview option for the 'Description' field. This could be achieved by either hovering over the Description field (similar to the 'Activity' field) or by clicking on the Description field itself to trigger a preview, similar to how the full List Description is displayed when directly clicked.
This would improve usability and allow users to manage task descriptions in a more efficient and customizable way.

would be great to have the hover-over description view (that we have in the list view) in the same way for the table view
