Has the option to set a default description been removed? Did I miss an announcement?

I just picked a random book to check, and the default description box was still there.
OK, well I was just editing a description and the option was *not* there on either the edition I was editing nor on the edition where I got a better description.
I believe you Elizabeth ... maybe a glitch??The book I checked was https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/4...

Perhaps. That's why I was asking. It was interesting, because the edit page told me how many editions were using the description on that edition (which I did not verify). I sort of thought that couldn't be without specific programming.
I like having the default description, but it is not without its problems.
It's definitely handy on occasions and a nuisance at other times :)
And, by the way, the book in question now is displaying the "set default description" language. Perhaps it didn't have a default? I don't know. (What a way to start the day!)
Hahahaha just about to go to bed myself :D
Ha! Yes, we're 19 or 20 hours difference, depending on where you are in your country.
Not sure now that we have daylight savings, but in January, we're 20 hours from Melbourne. I think it's 19 year this time of year. You're up late - and I'm an early riser.
We're the same as Melbourne, and still in daylight savings I think till early April. It'll go to 20 hrs then I guess. If I was in Perth, I'd be another 3 hrs.
