There is no product description displayed in version 22

Using my Dolibarr

In version 19, the product description was originally displayed here,
After upgrading to version 22, there is no product description displayed now,
Now we can only manually modify the product description,
How to activate the product description feature?

The following functions have been selected but still have no effect.

V21.0.1 here. When I click where the pink arrow is pointing I do get some products/services to select from - HOWEVER I only get products/services which are actually marked for sale.

Are your products/services marked for sale?

Yes, the product is available for purchase

sorry @TuHao I’ve run out of ideas

In sales orders, after selecting a product, the description will automatically appear in the editing box, but this feature is no longer available in purchase orders.
Version 18 can be used normally, but after upgrading to version 22, it doesn’t work anymore.

@TuHao yeah I see the issue now. I also have this issue with vendor proposals in 21.0.1

I would suggest that you look for a similar bug/feature request on Dolibarrs github page, and if you can not find it, then create one - inclusive pictures

Hello, just look at the Product module setup (last line) :

but, I only see these description in Sales Orders, not in Purchase Orders.

@TuHao did you try @altatof’s suggestion? did it help you?

Hello, I’ve tried it, but it didn’t help at all

It should be caused by the upgrade from version 18 to version 22

I’ve tested it. If I install a brand-new version 22, this problem won’t occur

@TuHao there must be some files left over from v18.

I use containers, so when I upgrade it is a completely new container image (though documents folder is shared between versions)
