Description

Upstream report: https://secure.phabricator.com/T6579

Right now, you can't even view the project descriptions of the currently selected projects even by explicitly clicking them. You have to completely leave the flow and do a search to make sure you're adding the right project.

I have a few ideas:

Show an excerpt from the description when you hover over the project (similar to how this is done for tasks).
Allow you to click the project (could be confusing)
Show a longer excerpt in the area below Projects and above Security.

In my opinion, this is not the same as T27: Add projects list when creating new task in Maniphest. That is asking for a broader change. This task could be as simple as a tooltip.

Marking as Low only because first we need to see how big of a problem this is after migrating Bugzilla and having some days of real Phabricator use. Since the beginning we have known that the paradigm to assign tasks to projects is very different in Phabricator.

It might be worth filing a task upstream proposing a tooltip for project labels, unless there is already one created. This would be consistent with the tooltip they designed for tasks.
