1. What is the nature and description of the request?

Currently, in Ansible Automation Platform 2.6, the Job Template Description field supports multiline text input. However, when viewing a job template as part of a workflow within the visualizer, the side panel displays the description as a single-line string, ignoring newline characters.

This behavior results in inconsistent presentation across the UI — while the job template form correctly supports multiline descriptions, the workflow visualizer truncates or flattens the formatting, which reduces readability for users managing complex workflows.

1. Why does the customer need this? (List the business requirements here)

The customer's platform management team handles complex workflows with detailed job descriptions. The inability to display multiline descriptions in the workflow visualizer makes it difficult to quickly interpret what each job does within a workflow.

Having properly formatted, multiline descriptions would:

• • Enhance readability and clarity of workflow steps.

• • Improve efficiency for operations and troubleshooting.

• • Help maintain a consistent user experience across the UI.

• • Align with the expectation of a world-class automation platform where workflow details are easy to understand at a glance.

Without this enhancement, users must manually expand or interpret compressed text, slowing down comprehension and workflow management.

1. How would you like to achieve this? (List the functional requirements here)

The customer suggests a simple UI enhancement to render multiline descriptions properly within the workflow visualizer's side panel.

Proposed solution:
~~~
.pf-v6-c-description-list__text

{     white-space: pre-wrap !important; }

~~~

This small CSS adjustment would ensure that newline characters in the Job Template Description are respected and displayed as intended.

The change should apply to all UI areas where the description property is rendered, ensuring consistent multiline formatting across Job Templates and Workflows.
