z/OSMF Workflow Editor Should Support Longer Step Description

We create rich-text descriptions for our workflow steps. They look great when displayed by the z/OSMF Workflow task. Unfortunately, it is currently impossible to make minor text corrections using the workflow editor as it supports only very short ...
