Bug template selector is labelled "Description"

Summary
The gitlab.com pre-prepared default template says to choose the bug template. Everything talks about "templates". But the template selector is labelled Description. The word "Template" doesn't appear in any of the UI elements.
After flailing for some time, I discovered by accident that the "Description" is actually selecting the template.
Steps to reproduce
- Encounter a bug in gitlab
- Go to the gitlab issue tracker page https://gitlab.com/gitlab-org/gitlab/-/issues
- Search for the issue, and don't find it
- Hit the blue "New item" button in the top right
- Read the text that appears pre-prepared in the box, and conclude that you are supposed to "please use one of the issue templates provided"
Expected behaviour
There is an entry field in the form for selecting the template, labelled as "Template".
Ie, the precanned text uses the same terminology as the UI one needs to use to follow it.
Actual behaviour
There is no entry field labelled "Template". The entry field for selecting the template is labelled "Description" and contains the word "Default" (the current value).
Output of checks
This bug happens on GitLab.com.
Possible fixes
Change the label "Description" for the template selector to "Template".
Or, if that is contrary to doctrine, change the Default template on gitlab.com to advise the user that selecting the template is done with the "Description" UI element. And then, update the documentation to adivse every gitlab-using project to do the same.
