Hover to see description of status on Ideas in a portal

Adding my vote to this. While a Custom page is a workaround, it creates redundancy to already available description fields and thus 2 places of future maintenance.

Whilst i 100% agree with this idea and also find it irritating, we have addressed this in a slightly different way using automation and Admin Messages. When a status is changed, the Admin Message is added automatically (using automation) to explain what the status is and what the creator can expect next. This has the advantage of always being displayed on the Ideas popup/ detail and it is a form which can be editted. Our customers liked the approach and it removed their complaints overnights

You've allowed the ability to give the status a description, but then fell short when actually making it useful. Hovering just reiterates the field value when u would have expected the description to show. Feels more like a bug than a new idea.

We are on a process to implement Aha for our customers and this was the first comment asking for description of each Workslow status.

For similar reasons as already stated this would be very helpful.  It would put the ideas portal on parity with the Ideas form in Aha.

We are new to using AHA as are our customers and therefore we need to be clear what our statuses mean and that they are easily interpreted. A legend, hover over or an information panel would be great. 

I spoke with Aha support on this idea and I'd like to propose a different way to satisfy this idea....a check box in the status workflow settings area in Aha.  The checkbox would be to display the status descriptions on idea portals via the question mark icons (with the default being off so current Aha customers are not affected/keep their Aha working how it has been). I would expect that it have to be all portals or none of them (no turning it on for one portal and not turning it on for another portal). This would deliver on the requirement and would easier than adding fields (which I would not recommend). 

And this is one reason why I love Aha....I was typing up the exact same idea when this idea popped up in the "recommended" list. Saved me time and effort. vote +1.  Adding to the above request to add weight: This feature has been done already in the product (categories, elsewhere) using the ? icon and that is exactly what is needed/expected here.  Delivering on this request would save countless hours for thousands of employees for explaining exactly what each state/status means. This would also help our customers themselves explaining the meaning of each status to others in their companies. I've already written and iterated/improved many times on the description on each status, only to find out it doesn't get displayed on the idea portal. This is one of those no-brainer requirements (read: easy win) that ends up delivering on an overall great experience.  I'm more than willing to beta test any enhancements in this area.  Note: I am not voting for an alt place for free text on the portal page for this request.  Punting to CSS/HTML as a workaround is not a viable alternative to this solution...needs to be in the product.  It honestly feels like you guys are already 70% there (just need to finish the last 30%).
