Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

Having task description is a nice to have feature that I spotted in the cloud version of CVAT 2.10 (it might have been available before). This feature is not disclosed in the docs
https://opencv.github.io/cvat/docs/manual/basics/task-details/

Unfortunately, the community on-prem version has a slightly different behavior: the task description is not available from the task page, while one can open the editing interface via /guide endpoint.

This is confusing. Obviously it would be great having this feature available.

Describe the solution you'd like

It would be useful accessing and seing the descriptions through the web interface.

Getting them via CLI is relevant as well.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Few more details

The data submitted via /guide UI successfully land in the engine_annotationguide table. However, there is no other option other than using API to get it

There are not any restrictions of this feature in open source solution.
It is available, please, re-check.

[mickaeltardy]

No restriction would be the expected behaviour.

Unfortunately this is not the case: double-checked, please see the screenshots

• The Task description button is available in the cloud version

• There is no task decription in Task interface

• The guide endpoint is still available

[bsekachev]

I see. The same scheme as with labels.

If a task in a project, setup guide on the project page.
If a task not in a project, setup guide on the task page.

Ok. Understood. Thanks.
I would like to be able to customize the description task-wise. Any thoughts of that being useful?
