DXA choose to display description (if available) over title/name field - Hardcoded in code about dxa-web-application-dotnet HOT 6 CLOSED

HI Rick,

Changed the title to make it more concrete. Indeed it may fall under Enhancement. I dint know where to set that as label to this issue.

The reason why i raised this is as follow:
A customer recently raised a request where they wanted to show Title even if they have Description in place in a Keyword component. Because they wanted to use that description to indicate only the company name who had acquired them recently to differentiate between old and new categories.

Sounds to me that customer is abusing the Keyword Description for what should have been done in Keyword metadata? For clarity: we indeed have a story on the DXA backlog to make the Keyword mapping logic more generic and powerful. It is currently not scoped to a release yet. If people come up with good use cases, we will prioritize the story accordingly, but this doesn't sound like a convincing use case to me...

I completely agree. As i also mentioned in my question, I was more curious to understand whats in pipeline for this and as you said we indeed should look for better use case. Thanks for insights.
