Describe the bug
After changing a card's description, the Activity app displays also the entire description (see screenshot).
To Reproduce
Steps to reproduce the behavior:
- edit card
- close card
- see activity-log
Expected behavior
In my opinion, it should only show the entry "xy updated the card's description" and not the entire content. This unnecessarily bloats the activity log.
