The 2026 Drupal Business Survey is open. Your response will help shape the future of the Drupal business ecosystem.When adding a Paragraph bundle, we only get to provide a name (+ machine name).
Other entity types (nodes, vocabularies, beans) also provide an administrative description field, which is used in the admin UI. It's useful for describing (briefly) the intended purpose of the bundle.
The admin/content/add page shows these descriptions of content types.
I think it would it be worth having a description field for paragraph bundles too, to help editors select the correct bundle.
This request has a similar motive to #2236905: [META] Nicer UI / Icons for "Paragraph type" + "Add another Paragraph" but would probably be easier to implement, and needn't conflict with what's being discussed there.

jeroen.b commentedSounds like a good plan. The administrative interface could be the same as on the node types pages.
I'm just wondering how to display the description in a select box or on a button (when the add type is button).

jstollerMy patch in #2568601: Add label and description properties on paragraphs bundles adds a description property, as well as a label property, to all Paragraphs bundles. At this point the description is just displayed on the paragraphs bundle admin page, but I suppose that could be expanded in the future.

jstoller@andrewmacpherson, any chance you could review my patch in #2568601: Add label and description properties on paragraphs bundles to see if it gets you at least closer to where you want this to go? I'd love to get an RTBC on that issue.
