Display Milestone description when issues on the board are group by milestone

Hello friends.

Here is our use case. We are using Github projects in order to display our delivery progress. It consists of issues group by the custom fields we have created called "Projects". Currently this limit is set to 100, and we understand that making it unlimited might be suboptimal. We have tried to re-implement our setup by using milestones so that all issues on the board are group by milestones, but noticed that there is important feature missing compared to custom fields.

When we add the description to a custom field, it gets displayed next to the title on the board. It is important, because we've used to place links to the corresponding PRD tickets that explain all the work associated with each group (we call it swim-lane). Unfortunately, the same description is not being displayed, when we set it in the Milestone description.

Can this be fixed?

It is a very important accessability feature for us.
