Providing additional details
Back will automatically use your message as the title of the request. At any point of the flow you can also select "Adjust details" to open a dialog and add more context in the description field, e.g. if you have a particular favorite brand of coffee you can paste a link to Amazon.
Unless the team was pre-selected or you already selected it before, you will need to select the team as well.
