Description

It is currently not possible to edit the description of studies. That's unfortunate because people may want to update them with new information, such as analyses or citation requests.

A simple API call that overwrites the description, only accessible to the creator, would do the trick.

Research direction

The issue names no files, tests, or entry points. Start by locating the study API and its creator-permission checks, then determine where a description-update call belongs. Done means the creator can overwrite a study description through the API while other users cannot, with coverage for both permissions.
