 Description   

LLD User Macros are expanded already in quite a few places ... but not in other:
https://www.zabbix.com/documentation/2.0/manual/appendix/macros/supported_by_location#macros_used_in_low-level_discovery

In some situations it would be very useful, if LLD User Macros could also be expanded in the description part of ITEMs and TRIGGERs (just like its already possible in ITEM.NAME and TRIGGER.NAME).

Background: I would like to use this to pass some LLD specific informations to the messages sent/used by operations in the actions. At the moment I need to parse this out - complicated - from the name (which contains more text - for usability - than needed by the media script of the operation).

Did you try to search over Jira before create this issue ?
Looks like it has been implemented already in ZBXNEXT-1304

Closed as DUPLICATE.

Also note that it's actually not a bug.

ZBXNEXT project is for feature requests.

Sorry ... I thought I have researched it enough (I really searched, but maybe in the wrong place or with the wron keywords). Nevertheless, I am very happy that this is indeed already on the way for the next major version (which we plan to use as soon as it becomes officially available).
Thank you very much for pointing me in the right direction!

You are welcome !
I believe you will be more lucky next time on search.
