"description_field/Description Content" Attribute issues [#1370080]

Views displaying users seem to miss "Description Content" from data sources.

I received the following error:
Notice: Undefined index: description_field in openlayers_views_style_data->map_features() (line 298 of /.../sites/all/modules/openlayers/modules/openlayers_views/views/openlayers_views_style_data.inc).

and then saw that the view simply does not have Description Content in data sources. There's an attached images demonstrating the bug.

Is somebody aware why the Description Field is only added for views of type "node"?

openlayers_views_style_data.inc, line 184:
// For node content type, we can render the node as with a specific
// view mode.
if ($this->view->base_table == 'node')

Also wondering this. Commenting out/deleting line 186 and 227 (latest dev release) seemed to do the trick for me and got rid of the error but I dont know what other probs it will cause!

This is happening for my node based data overlays as well. I lose the description field dropdown whenever the master views style is not also set to "data overlay", and I'm assuming that's why it has happened to kayolan and 7wonders. Its pretty disastrous when it happens but there is a workaround, and for now I have set my master displays as data overlay and it seems to be ok.

It seems to be a bug with the handling of descriptions for individual view displays. I would help but my PHP isn't really up to writing a patch at this stage.

» "description_field/Description Content" Attribute issues

I thinks this is more generic issue, here are some aspects i could think about
1. Not available for all entities types, limited to node entities type
maybe this could be implemented for any type (Display suite could help for view modes)
2. this attribute it is used without an isset checking: missing "description_field/Description Content" attributes throw this error.

So maybe 1. could be a different new feature request issue and 2. could be solved here.
