Porting over dropdown descriptions upon load from another property

I love the new feature where dropdown options for dropdown fields can each have their own descriptions - great addition! Now, would it be possible for dropdown descriptions (and the two more general field descriptions, for that matter) to retain their descriptions when being ported over from a different field? We’ve put some TLC into writing good descriptions for some of our more valuable fields that sync with other record types, and it’d be helpful if we didn’t have to repeatedly c/p them over every time. Thanks in advance!
