How can I do this:

I want a short description to show in a category view under the title and I’m not sure how to do that.

Currently people see:

 ![April%2018%2C%202019%20at%2002-58%C2%A0](https://global.discourse-cdn.com/meta/original/3X/9/d/9d0ffc46fd4f7c8a81a99f4810d11b84077ed12a.png)

I’d like to prompt’s description to be viewable here so people could click **+New Topic** and respond.
