Description is not populating on email notification received

A very strange one, when I complete a change request and request approval,  get an email notification to let me know I have a CR waiting for approval, the problem is when I open the change, everything appears as expected besides the description of the change

Hi William,

 

May I know how you are populating the description in the email body?
Is it just by ${description} or any other method?

If my answer helped you in any way please mark it as correct.

 it is via an email template

Hi William,

 

Thanks for sharing.
Please make sure that no change has been done to the template.

OOB this template is on the sysapproval_approver table and does not have the description field in the template.

You'll have to add the description in the template and it should be populated as ${sysapproval.description}

Yes, I have reviewed, seems to be working for every group besides a particular group. As in when I request approval from as any user other than users in that particular group. The field populates but when I impersonate someone in that group and create a CR, every field in the template populates besides the description field.
