Is there an existing issue for this?
- I have searched the existing issues
Problem description
- At the moment, the “description” field displayed in the view tree does not correspond to the name of the property. In the tree view it is “description”, and in the properties panel it is “label2”.
- To display the description in the view tree, a limited zone is used. In addition, for this column to appear, you need to activate this setting. As a result, this opportunity is difficult and inconvenient to use.

Offer.
- In the title "description" change to "label2". And leave the current behavior as is. This will allow you to still use the second-level heading when the main heading is not enough.
- Add a “description” text field to the object properties. The text from this field could be displayed when hovering over an object in the view tree (if this property is filled).
It would be possible to write fairly long descriptions of an object, which would be useful for making detailed notes regarding the object. Can be compared to comments in programming. Imagine that you are sharing a file with someone. Such information could be very useful in this case.
Related tasks. At the moment, a pop-up message when hovering over an object in the view tree is already available. But it is only displayed if an error occurs. It might be better to change the error color to red and make the “description” field blue or green.
