  1. Create device type with one module bay. Module bay should have name and description configured
  2. Create new device based on the created device type

Expected Behavior

Module bay description on the device is empty.

This is intended behavior, and replicates the existing behavior for device bays and other components. The description applied to the component template is for the device type, whereas the description field on the individual component instances is intended to apply to those specific objects. For example, you might set a description of "Second line card" on the module bay template, but might use the description on a module bay instance to note an issue with a particular bay (e.g. "Card is stuck - do not use").

This is intended behavior, and replicates the existing behavior for device bays and other components. The description applied to the component template is for the device _type_, whereas the description field on the individual component instances is intended to apply to those specific objects. For example, you might set a description of "Second line card" on the module bay template, but might use the description on a module bay instance to note an issue with a particular bay (e.g. "Card is stuck - do not use").
