##### SUMMARY
##### STEPS TO REPRODUCE
Currently, the Cloudstack UI doesnt support users to add descriptions/notes to their created Private Gateways and Static Routes
I propose adding descriptions To Private Gateways and Static Routes because as the number of gateways grows, i lose track of what each gateway was for, which makes it hard to maintain. And a Private Gateway can have many static routes, which are very hard to keep track too.
I see a large list, but i have no idea what each one is for. It becomes even worse if i have a colleague who adds another gateway and i have no i wont be able to identify (cause the list is so long) or understand what the item was created for.
I think this feature is one of those that are low hanging fruits that would greatly improve the users experience.

##### EXPECTED RESULTS
~~~
To be able to add descriptions to Private Gateways and Static Routes so its easier to maintain in the long term.
~~~
##### ACTUAL RESULTS
~~~
I add many private gateways and Static Routes without knowing its reference that its becoming very hard to maintain.

Contributor guide
Research direction
Start with the Private Gateways and Static Routes UI flows described in issue #8837 and verify their current behavior on the affected CloudStack version or main branch. Trace how each resource is created and listed; done means users can enter descriptions for both resources and see them when maintaining the resulting lists.
