Description

Please consider using space in "description" commands.
This feature is available from many vendors. Maybe it is useful when transferring the configuration to VYOS from other equipment.

Example:

(cisco ASA)access-list outside_access_in remark 'LRR Voice T1'

(VYOS 1.3) set firewall name outside_access_in rule XXX description remark 'LRR_Voice_T1' (Have to add "_" )

Have you tried writing the description with spaces in quotes?
Something like this:

set firewall name ACL rule 1000 description 'My lovely spaces'

@Viacheslav
If i use this format ('test test test') it works well.
Is it possible using description with space without '' ?

Using a space in description withput quotation won‘t work. This is because the underlay of the CLI is bash and needs proper quotation.
