Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.

In the Zapier schema, we can have help text to explain the usage/purpose of a field. The current Zapier generator doesn't support this feature yet.

Describe the solution you'd like

Put the description as the help text in the Zapier field.

Describe alternatives you've considered

Nope.

Additional context

The field schema of Zaiper models:
https://zapier.github.io/zapier-platform-schema/build/schema.html#fieldschema

The description is now used as the label in the Zapier model. It might conflict with the usage of help text:
https://github.com/OpenAPITools/openapi-generator/blob/063865973df48aa13da473b359faf8ed5c5d2434/modules/openapi-generator/src/main/resources/zapier/model.mustache#L32

Research direction

Start with modules/openapi-generator/src/main/resources/zapier/model.mustache and compare its current use of description with the Zapier FieldSchema documentation. Update the generated field mapping so the description serves as help text rather than the label, then verify the generated Zapier model output reflects both roles appropriately.
