      Hi there, yes this is now possible. In a custom layout you can now make fields required -- including the description field. This article explains how to set this up in more detail. Thanks!

      So did this ship for real now?  If not, can you change the status back?

    Allow to make the idea's description mandatory field ( required)

    The description is passed on to another system and cannot be left blank. It is desirable to make it mandatory at the source when the idea is created. That will avoid us going back and forth with the creators to get it added.
