Content type 'Competencies'

Summary

How do we put/edit the ‘Description’ under Content Item for Content Type ‘Competencies’?

Content

We are using Content Type ‘Competencies’ in our performance document.  The description of the competency shows on the performance document.  But when we go to My Workforce>Profiles>Manage Content Items>Select Content Type ‘Competencies’>Create a new item we are not able to edit the description. Even if we put text in ‘long description’ or ‘short description’, it doesn’t copy into the actual description field at the top.

Because of this, the description is not visible on the performance document too.  Please see the attached document for details.
