How to add "Project Description" in FogBugz?

Question

When I create a new project (or even when I edit the Sample Project) there is no way to add Description to the project.

Or am I blind to the obvious?

How is this question a programming related question? Or do we let it slide cause the creater of FogBugz happens to be one of the creators of this website? :P – Backhouse

OK, I agree its not a programming question! But it is programming related. Remember, What is the best programming chair is a valid question here :) – Summerwood

Answer 1

There's no such thing as a project description, really. There's a column in the Projects page which is used so you can see which project is the default, built-in inbox, and we couldn't think of anything better to put as the column header for that column.

You are not crazy. It is used internally and not even stored in the database. I wondered the same thing when I first started using FogBugz, but found a forum entry to answer my question. As of today, I still don't think they have implemented it. Jump over to FogCreek and submit a request, if you would like to make it editable.

The description is mostly for system projects, like e-mail inbox.

You might be able to set one in the underlying DB table.
