When a process is sent for approval, the editor enters a short description of the change. This appears on the dashboard and helps the approvers understand what has changed.
However when Auto-Publish is turned on, this change message is over written with a generic message "All approvals received. Auto published because no Publishers specified." This message isn't helpful for users and confuses some people, while the original change description provides relevant information but is now hidden. The change description can be found in the process change log, but this isn't an area that most people will visit.
Request is for the change description to always show in the dashboard, even when auto-publish is on.
