You might be able to copy the description to the summary using 'tmplcopy_site.spl'. Copy the out-of-box 'tmplcopy_site.spl' from bopcfg\majic to site\mods\majic, edit the function 'cr::make_from_template_site' and add the following lines:
if (new.summary == "Create request from template \'Spectrum_Template\'") {
new.summary = new.description;
}
Restart the SDM service to apply the change. The description will of course be truncated when it is copied to the summary field.
Hope that helps.
