Hi,

I am struggling trying to find my the description field is empty "-" for my assets (in Data Management > Data explorer > Assets.

Looking for the problem I verified the following

successfully imported data into RAW (seen under Data Management > Integrate > Staging)

successfully ran transformations on the RAW table and populated CogniteAssets (seen under Data Management > Data models > Data Management > CogniteAsset)

Any advice would be helpful?

@brian.gelzhiser try clicking the assets here and check for the description.

Idea would also allow the description of a post to be editable 😅 ex., Data explorer description is empty

@brian.gelzhiser for DM assets, use Industrial Tools → Search instead of Data explorer. Please let me know whether the description is available there.

Please submit a product idea here if you would like to have an option to allow the description to be editable
