Next-Gen Project Type and Description missing!

Question

I'm trying to migrate our Classic projects over to Next-Gen, however there seems to be no way to assign a Project Type or Description to a Next-Gen project. The Type defaults to Software for every project and I can find no field to change this, and there's no Project Description altogether. Please let me know if there's a timeline to implement these?

Edit: Also seems like Project Lead is fixed to whomever created the project and cannot be edited. I'd like to know if that'll change too!

That's not the issue, there are features lacking in the next-gen projects, namely project descriptions and project types, that I'd like to see available in future and want to know if they're already on a release schedule.

Thanks for the thought, though!

Hello,

The only way to migrate from a classic project to a next-gen project is to move all issues from the classic project to a next-gen project.
