Some tables like "state" we would want to use the short description but on others like constituent code we would like to use the long description. They need to be able to be changed independently based on specific code tables themselves, not all one way or the other.
I concur with this recommendation, however, I would add that our users would love to also have the ability to have short descriptions in Web View for display of Appeal Campaign ID, Appeal ID, and Package ID on the Appeal Tile of a constituent record, and State, which has already been mentioned.
