I have solved the issue now.

Edit meta-description-presenter.php and replace with the following

<?php

namespace Yoast\WP\SEO\Presenters;

use Yoast\WP\SEO\Presentations\Indexable_Presentation;

/**
 * Presenter class for the meta description.
 */
class Meta_Description_Presenter extends Abstract_Indexable_Tag_Presenter {

	/**
	 * The tag key name.
	 *
	 * @var string
	 */
	protected $key = 'description';

	/**
	 * Returns the meta description for a post.
	 *
	 * @return string The meta description tag.
	 */
	public function present() {
		$output = parent::present();

		if ( ! empty( $output ) ) {
			return $output;
		}

		if ( \current_user_can( 'wpseo_manage_options' ) ) {
			return '<!-- ' .
				\sprintf(
					/* translators: %1$s resolves to Yoast SEO, %2$s resolves to the Settings submenu item. */
					\esc_html__( 'Admin only notice: this page does not show a meta description because it does not have one, either write it for this page specifically or go into the [%1$s - %2$s] menu and set up a template.', 'wordpress-seo' ),
					\esc_html__( 'Yoast SEO', 'wordpress-seo' ),
					\esc_html__( 'Settings', 'wordpress-seo' )
				) .
				' -->';
		}

		return '';
	}

	/**
	 * Run the meta description content through replace vars, the wpseo_metadesc filter and sanitization.
	 *
	 * @return string The filtered meta description.
	 */
	public function get() {
		$meta_og_description = $this->replace_vars( $this->presentation->open_graph_description );

		/**
		 * Filter: 'wpseo_opengraph_desc' - Allow changing the Yoast SEO generated Open Graph description.
		 *
		 * @api string The description.
		 *
		 * @param Indexable_Presentation $presentation The presentation of an indexable.
		 */
		$meta_og_description = \apply_filters( 'wpseo_opengraph_desc', $meta_og_description, $this->presentation );
		$meta_og_description = $this->helpers->string->strip_all_tags( \stripslashes( $meta_og_description ) );
		return \trim( $meta_og_description );
	}
}

I am not a php developer so wondering if someone could help.

If we edit to the meta-description-presenter.php file with the og:description parts would that work?

I have uploaded a screenshot.

There is no option for description in there for the description variable

Hello,

Yes it has all those, if i write a set description on the listing section or a specific listing it works and shows.

The issue is that it does not automatically add the description from the listing itself, the description shows on the og:description but not the actual meta description.

What i need is a way to copy the og:description to description meta tag.

this is doing lots of issues to my seo as the description meta tag is not there.

Kind Regards,

Chris
