Hi everyone!

I'm creating projects using Jira REST-API (Jira 7.9.2 on Windows Server) and project-templates option:

D:\>curl.exe -u <user>:<pwd> -D- -X POST --data "{\"key\":\"AKEY\", \"name\":\"A name\", \"description\":\"Some descriptive text\", \"lead\":\"a01506\", \"url\":\"\", \"assigneeType\":\"UNASSIGNED\", \"avatarId\":\"\", \"issueSecurityScheme\":\"10602\", \"permissionScheme\":\"10602\", \"notificationScheme\":\"10602\", \"categoryId\":\"10600\"}" -H "Content-Type: application/json" --insecure https://jira.local/rest/project-templates/1.0/createshared/11400

{"returnUrl":"/browse/AKEY","projectId":11707,"projectKey":"AKEY","projectName":"A name","remoteProjectLinks":{}}

I'm setting project description in JSON data, but description is blank in project details:

Is there something I'm doing wrong?

Thanks in advance!
