1. Go to Product engineering > Setup > Engineering product type.
2. In left pane, find and select the desired engineering product type.
3. Click Edit.
4. In the Description rule field, select an option.
5. You can only enter s description formula, if the Description rule is set to Attribute.
If you click this field, a dialog is opened in which you can enter [%attribute.name].
To enter the value in this field, on the dialog, click OK.
  In the Description formula field, enter or select a value.
