I noticed this last month or so, if you click on the Category Assignment link in Client view, you can still populate the Category Description field, but it is no longer an available column to be displayed. I believe it was only available in IoT view previously, but now it's nowhere to be seen, and not even an option to select in the column picker.
Was this intentional, or just a bug? This is the only way that I am aware of to add any manual description to individual devices.
