I assume you're referring to module types and not modules, though it's difficult to tell from your extremely low-effort description above.

As has been pointed out in numerous previous issues, descriptions are intentionally not replicated from component templates. This would not make sense as it would merely result in duplicated data. Please remember to search for existing issues before opening a new one.

Wow, that was pretty uncalled for @jeremystretch

This is not the module type. I will create a new issue that perhaps pleases you with more effort..

This is not a support forum. Please be respectful of others' time and invest more effort when opening a GitHub issue.

It's not a matter of pleasing me, but of simply following directions:

Describe in detail the exact steps that someone else can take to reproduce this bug using the current stable release of NetBox. Begin with the creation of any necessary database objects and call out every operation being performed explicitly.
