Ability to report/extract/import description field in uploaded files
Currently, descriptions for uploaded files can be added. It will be helpful to be able to report on each uploaded files, with their description and upload date/time, and user. It will be helpful for staff/reviewers to be able to have a list of files that were uploaded, with the description at hand, as filenames may not be as descriptive.
Also, since file upload is available thru autoloader, it will nice to be able to add descriptions of files when uploaded thru autoloader.

Activating the Description field for multi-file upload fields has been such a help for our users. We're really disappointed that after taking the time to use this feature, we are now losing all the data we took time to enter as we prepare to migrate a subset of our grants to a new UTA. Since Description is not available in the metadata to include with autoloader, we are going to need to go back and manually enter in the descriptions for every file on every grant record we are migrating.
