How Detailed Should a “Role Description” Be on an Application?

Question for hiring managers: how detailed should the role description be for past roles when filling out applications? One line? A few lines? Or even several? Should I list accomplishments too even though that isn’t technically part of the description? On one hand I want to be brief and respectful of the HM’s time, on the other I want to give enough information to show I’m worth a phone screen.

Edit: I should have clarified that I’m talking about online applications where there’s a specific field to enter for “role description.” Not the descriptions under each role on my resumé.

I have a minor disability that does not require accommodations from an employer. I am currently looking for a job and every application asks about my status in this regard. Which is better, disclosing that I have a disability or checking the box that I prefer not to say? Question for hiring managers, can you see this information and does it affect your decision?
