[`to_ndex`] "description" field does not actually upload from ddot into NDEx

[antonkratz]

With the to_ndex function, it seems that the "description" field does not actually upload from ddot into NDEx. Or it uploads but NDEx does not accept it. The description field could be extremely useful (I am uploading a large number of hierarchies and am auto-generating description text which describes model building parameters, data provenance etc), but it does not seem to get into NDEx, the "description" field there is just empty.

url, _ = ont.to_ndex(name="sho6Nooz",
  description="a_0.07_b_0.5_m_0.004_z_0.1, cutoff 0.287 algnmt GO BP DNA Repair",
  ndex_server='http://test.ndexbio.org',
  ndex_user='kratz',
  ndex_pass='XXXXXXXX',
  network=sim_long,
  main_feature='similarity',
  layout='bubble-collect')

I have described this issue in the Cytoscape Slack on 2019-01-19.

I remember fixing this bug a few months ago. I'll take a look and see what happened...
