The description has nothing to do with the transaction - it is only for your personal records, it doesn't matter if you leave it blank, put in something random, or put in what you actually wanted to. It has no effect on the transaction and its completion,

<p>I inserted a wrong description into a transaction made with Electrum per mistake, so I double clicked the description in and changed it to another value, while it was unconfirmed. My question is, will this last (final) value be visible once it is confirmed?</p>

Can I change a transaction description in Electrum while the transaction is still unconfirmed?
