Multiple Lines of text field does not show content in Display Form

We are having a problem with a multiple lines of text field in a SharePoint 2013 List. We need this field to display its contents in the display form but I cannot get it to work.

The field displays content in the default view. It also displays the contents of the field in the Edit form.  When I open up the Display form, the field, ‘Description’ is displayed in the form but it does not show any contents. 

I tried running the powershell below to add the field to the display form but it did not change anything.  The field is already displayed in the Display Form but it does not show the contents.

$web = Get-SPWeb http://sharepoint2013/

$list = $web.GetList("List Name")

$field = $list.Fields["Description"]

$field.Hidden = $false

$field.ShowInDisplayForm = $true

$field.ShowInViewForms = $true

$field.Update()

$list.Update()

$web.Dispose()
