Make Description a required field on the Expense Report level

in Ideas
I was informed today that the only way to make Description a required field currently is to edit the setting on each category on a policy. Because of the number of Categories, Tags, and Policies that my company has set up on Expensify, I just spent the past five hours doing that.
It would be lovely (and a wonderful time-saver) if we had the ability to make the Description a required field on Expense Report transactions as a whole, not on a per Category level. Thanks for your consideration...

Hi @BridgewayCC We already have an Idea for that here, if you could add your vote?
