Linkedin doesn't display article description after sharing by customized URL

Question

I don't know if anyone else experienced the same problem, but I just don't know why article description is not visible on my feed page after sharing. I used these recommendations for customized URL sharing: https://developer.linkedin.com/docs/share-on-linkedin

i.e. my link looks like this:

https://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=http://developer.linkedin.com&title=LinkedIn%20Developer%20Network&summary=My%20favorite%20developer%20program&source=LinkedIn

If you follow this link, you'll see that the summary ("My favorite developer program") is visible in the preview. However, this summary is not visible in my feed after sharing. The same happens if I use tag within page markup instead of specifying "summary" directly in URL

I'll be very grateful for your advice.

You can only choose one option:

• Indicate an image with an og:image tag, and your image will display.
• Don't indicate an image, and then your description will display.

Do you want both an image and a description to display? Currently just not possible. Maybe put the text of the description into the image? I have no idea, it would just be nice if they made their API work according to their own documentation.
