Your html looks like this: ng-model="data.description" but you're doing this: element(by.model('textarea.data.description'))

It should be: element(by.model('data.description'))

This could be mostly because of the page not loaded properly. The Page might have loaded but some Elements in the page might load, disappear out of the page for a fraction of second and then load again. So when the page is loaded, the text area is found by Selenium and by the time it tries to click, the Element might have reloaded.

Put a try catch [Java] equivalent in protractor to catch the Exception and find the element again and click for the second time.

try {
     element(by.model('textarea.data.description')).sendKeys("values");
} catch (StaleElementReferenceError e) {
     element(by.model('textarea.data.description')).sendKeys("values");
}

I dont know of this is possible in Protractor. If not you can always increase the sleep time.
