Description

## Expected Behavior

Similar to streams, I can create an index set without having to specify a description.

## Current Behavior

Description is mandatory and not specifying it will block index set creation.

Research direction

Start by tracing index set creation and compare its description validation with the similar stream flow. Confirm where the mandatory-description check is applied and whether the request and UI both enforce it. Done means an index set can be created without a description, while descriptions that are provided continue to work.
