Hi @Ria
You have to clone OOB Portal widget My Request and update there.
Refer: Adding column in the My Request V2 widget in Service Portal
Customizing the "My Requests" Widget in Service Portal

Hi @Ria
To add a description column you can clone the OOTB widget and modify HTML code and server script.
OR
Alternative way is to add description below REQ no. without adding extra column
1. Navigate to Service catalog -> My request filter
2. Open below record
3. Add description to secondary fields

@Ria Make sure description is not empty for REQ (sc_request) records
