  18. Note the Work Order number that gets generated on the 6th
  iteration (the Semi Annual sequence)

  21. On the Plans tab | Children of Work Order section | view the
  Summary field value for the row (Record Class = WORKORDER)
  
  RESULT:
  The Work Order Description is "Semi Annual Task 1"; this is the
  Description from the Job Plan's first task.
  
  EXPECTED RESULT:
  The Work Order Description should be "Semi Annual Task 3 w
  Nested Job Plan QTY-003" The expected result is that the child
  Work Order that gets generated from the PM will take its
  Description from the Job Plan Task that contains the Nested Job
  Plan.
