<ul></ul>Where trackers descriptions to be shown? Possible places are:
<ul>
<li>New issue form, next to the dropbox of the trackers - show the description of the currently selected tracker</li>
<li>Project settings page, Information tab - on mouse hovering on the tracker names, or small icon next to each tracker name - clicking on it show baloon with tracker's description.</li>

<ul></ul><p>Hi, I’ve updated related patch to this request, it's attached to <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Description field for Tracker setting (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/5201">#5201</a>.<br />In this patch, I tried to implement the feature based on Ivan’s comment.</p>
<p>1. Display modal (popup) window to show tracker’s description at new/edit issue screen.<br />Set the link the dropbox of the trackers. Clicking the link and modal window is shown to display selectable trackers and their descriptions.<br />Also user can change the tracker he/she hope to use at modal window.</p>
<p>2. Show tracker’s description like tooltip when mouse overed on the tracker name, (at Tracker index page, Project overview page, and Project setting page).</p>
<p>I wonder this meets your request, but I hope mine would be any help.</p>

I find the patch and the functionality very useful and I was looking for a feature like this for some time. I took the liberty to rewrite it a little bit in order to be more consistent with the other implementations from Redmine.</p>
<p>Please find attached two patches:</p>
<a name="1-01_add_description_to_trackerspatch"></a>
<h3 >1. 01_add_description_to_trackers.patch<a href="#1-01_add_description_to_trackerspatch" class="wiki-anchor">¶</a></h3>
<ul>
<li>it shows the description for trackers as a new column in trackers#index (<a class="attachment" href="https://www.redmine.org/attachments/18379">trackers_index.png</a>)</li>
<li>it uses the title attribute and the existing "field-description" class to show the description in Project overview page, Project setting page and Issue new/edit form (a similar implementation already exists for custom fields) (<a class="attachment" href="https://www.redmine.org/attachments/18380">tracker_title.png</a>)</li>
<li>dt and dd tags to list the trackers description in the modal (<a class="attachment" href="https://www.redmine.org/attachments/18381">trackers_description_modal.png</a>)</li>
</ul>
<a name="2-02_select_and_apply_trackerpatch"></a>
<h3 >2. 02_select_and_apply_tracker.patch<a href="#2-02_select_and_apply_trackerpatch" class="wiki-anchor">¶</a></h3>
<ul>
<li>moves the "apply" action to the tracker name, instead of the icon.</li>
<li>closes the modal after tracker selection</li>
<li>less javascript</li>
</ul>
<p>I chose to make a new patch for this feature because it is a separate functionality.</p>
<p>Any feedback is appreciated.</p> Redmine - Feature #442: Add a description for trackershttps://www.redmine.org/issues/442?journal_id=787252017-05-22T04:15:41ZAkiko Takano
<ul></ul><p>Marius, thanks for pointing out to my patch, <a class="issue tracker-2 status-5 priority-4 priority-default closed" title="Feature: Description field for Tracker setting (Closed)" href="https://www.redmine.org/issues/5201">#5201</a>.</p>
<blockquote>

</blockquote>
<p>I think this is better from the accessibility point of view, than description is displayed only when mouse over event fired :)</p>
<blockquote>

</blockquote>
<p>Personally, I think this is so useful for user who has project admin role, especially, in case he/she is not Redmine admin. Thanks.</p>
<p>Looking forward to be implemented!</p> Redmine - Feature #442: Add a description for trackershttps://www.redmine.org/issues/442?journal_id=789382017-06-01T21:32:22ZMischa The Evil
<ul></ul><p>This seems to be a nice addition in line with <a class="changeset" title="Add a description for custom fields." href="https://www.redmine.org/projects/redmine/repository/svn/revisions/12397">r12397</a> and <a class="changeset" title="Include custom fields description in project settings and issue view (#19296).

<p>Mischa, agree with you, but this should not block us implement what can be done. I'm favour to take one by one (for ex: I've in plan to continue with description for statuses after this patch is added to the core).</p>
<p>Coming back to this ticket, I would like to propose this feature for the next major version from the following reasons:<br />- is an old request<br />- it has at least 4 duplicated issues <br />- is part of <a class="message" href="https://www.redmine.org/boards/1/topics/54369">Redmine.org incomplete tickets vote count list(over 5 cas...</a><br />- it makes the onboarding process for the new users or public projects easier because they can find what means each tracker directly in the new issue form.</p> Redmine - Feature #442: Add a description for trackershttps://www.redmine.org/issues/442?journal_id=833712018-01-28T20:45:27ZMarius BĂLTEANU
