+gui/workorder-details
+=====================
+Adjust input items, material, or traits for work orders. Actual
+jobs created for it will inherit the details.
+
+This is the equivalent of `gui/workshop-job` for work orders,
+with the additional possibility to set input items' traits.
+
+It has to be run from a work order's detail screen
+(:kbd:`j-m`, select work order, :kbd:`d`).
+
+For best experience add the following to your ``dfhack*.init``::
+
+    keybinding add D@workquota_details gui/workorder-details
