Expected Behavior

Since project descriptions are mandatory, the system should prevent any project from being published or maintained in a published state without a project description.

Behavior

During the initial project creation, the system correctly enforces this requirement by displaying a warning indicator (red exclamation mark) and preventing publication when the project description is empty.

However, if an initiator edits a published project and removes the description entirely, the system fails to validate this field. This allows the changes to be saved, resulting in a published project that lacks the mandatory project description.

This is also the case if I don't enter a project description at all. Upon going to the page, I can just click the save button without entering any information, and the red warning indicator disappears.

@sblindow @janeklqd Initiators will most probably not do so, therefore I changed to low prio.
