When I enter a Thing.channel description and save it, then call the Thing and look at the channel, the description is not longer there.

label: MQTT Irrigation 1 controller

configuration: {}
bridgeUID: mqtt:broker:mosquitto
channels:
  - id: valve_1_flow
    channelTypeUID: mqtt:number
    label: Valve 1 flow
    description: "Channel description does not stick"
    configuration:
      stateTopic: ArgyleCourt/Property/PumpStation1/Flow1

Not sure what to do with it… no info on the forum or elsewhere…

This ( Channel Description field not existing in "Configure Channel" · Issue #1346 · openhab/openhab-webui · GitHub ) one ?

Yes,
but I’m a bit unsure, as of the lack of replies.
Maybe I asked this again in Discord as I haven’t got a reply in github.
Have to recheck, where got the answer to program it by myself if I’m interrested in this topic.

seems you got it here FIND SOURCE ... Incoming payload 'off' not supported by type 'NumberValue' - #8 by rossko57
but seems to be in a different context.
