When creating an Azure DevOps work item, it would be useful if the description field was auto-populated with the Canny post's details field.

When creating an Azure DevOps work item from a Canny post, it should include the description and ideally other fields.

Hey Resonant Salamander, thanks for your feedback! Following up on this:
- What specific information from the Canny post's details field would you like to see auto-populated in the Azure DevOps work item description?
- Are there any specific conditions or triggers under which the auto-population should occur?
- Would you like the option to customize or edit the auto-populated description before finalizing the work item?

Sarah Hum Hi!
- To be safe, the entire post details field.
- I'm not sure if this can be easily quantified. Perhaps a button press could give us control over when to copy it over.
- Yes absolutely 100%.

Just wanted to add here that without the description field autopopulated, this pushes our PMs to then have to re-summarize the post in the details. A step which can be easily avoided, or at the very least be helped by having the description field autopopulate with the post's detail field for quick editing before pushing to DevOps.
