Summary
The description value is not fetched in SOQL query on FieldDefinition when filtering by WHERE EntityDefinition.QualifiedApiName in ('*Object*ChangeEvent')

Actual Result
Description value is not returned though it is present on the field.

Expected Result
Description value should be returned.

Repro
1. On Opportunity or Account objects, create a Custom Field. Lets say the Api name is customfield__c.

2. Add description on the Custom Field.

3. Run the SOQL query

SELECT Description, EntityDefinition.QualifiedApiName, QualifiedApiName, DataType FROM FieldDefinition WHERE QualifiedApiName = 'customfield__c' and EntityDefinition.QualifiedApiName IN ('Opportunity', 'OpportunityChangeEvent’)

4. Description on the Custom Field is not returned for Opportunity but is returned for OpportunityChangeEvent.

5. Run the SOQL query

SELECT Description, EntityDefinition.QualifiedApiName, QualifiedApiName, DataType FROM FieldDefinition WHERE QualifiedApiName = 'customfield__c' and EntityDefinition.QualifiedApiName IN ('Opportunity') and description is returned.

Workaround
None
