Description is deleted in lock tx

[fabooowy]

When I Locked asset XRAYPEPE's Issuance with freewallet in a second transaction after the Create Token tx, it deleted the description json in the lock issuance tx so all images would not show in explorers after lock issuance tx. To solve, I had to update description in a third tx with freewallet with the original .json to have the media linked again.

getting multiple reports that issuing token supply, or locking the token is resulting in asset description being blown away.

Need to do a token issuance to issue supply and see what is being passed for asset description... most likely something changed in counterparty-core 11.0.1 which now blows away asset description rather than carrying it forward... will need to verify and then update freewallet code accordingly (hopefully not having to pass asset description forward in EVERY issuance, as that would unnecessarily expensive... tho I doubt that the current core-devs paid attention to that fact)

I understand the frustration but bet it's fixable and if there is no other way than forwarding the description for a fee in every issuance that's not the end of the world imo mostly people only have two issuances anyways with the lock being the 2nd. Hope there can be a collaboration also with what you call core devs to find a good way forward for tomorrow's creators.

For the time being, it seems that it makes most sense to initially |Create a Token| without description (leave blank) for fee reasons. In a second transaction one can |Lock Token Supply|. Only in the third transaction |Change Asset Description| one inserts a valid .json string and pays the fees for that. Hope that makes sense.
