Why is not not possible to add descriptions to workflows? the field displays in our workflow list, but it is not possible to edit or add a description to a workflow. It is not possible through the workflow edit interface or through the API (as far as I can tell). We have over 150 workflows, and being able to understand what they do via a description is a pretty basic functionality. Why has Hubspot dropped the abiity to edit this field? It would be nie ot add this back so we can track our workflows within hubpot and not have to create an external method of tracking. Thanks.

Hi @jasonashaw

You can add Workflow descriptions by simply clicking into the Workflow name:

You can’t add it from the WF overview page, not sure that ever was an option.
