Add configuration option to inherit/push description between web map item and app.

Currently you can't utilize existing web map item descriptions in this template (other than copying and pasting). It would be nice to be able to have the option (not be required) to have the ability to pull in existing descriptions from the web map details to the app. This would be a setting for each section.

This feature would be generally helpful for users of this template, but also specifically helpful for people that might be migrating from the old text & legend template (who already have nice descriptions stored with their web maps).

Additionally it would be helpful to be able to push a description you write in the app back to the web map item details as well. This would help people with the task of keeping good documentation for their items.

Thanks Owen, pulling description from the webmap when you add an entry is on the roadmap for next release.

Synchronizing isn't but that's definitely something we have been thinking about. We would like to find a pattern that we could also apply across template like for example Map Tour title/subtitle are imported from the item but never saved back to the item.

Thanks for the responses to both enhancement requests, Greg!
