Are you specifying microversion >= 2.19 when making the description update request?

[Matt Riedemann (mriedem)]

What do you mean by 'dynamically reflected'? In the response of the update or in an immediate nova-show after the update?

[Matt Riedemann (mriedem)]

I'm not sure about the notifications part of this, but with a recently built devstack from master it works fine for me - I boot an instance with no description, then update it, and show the instance and the description is there.
