Putting "I was fired" on the application

I don’t recall having to put any information about why I left a job on my applications. It asked for start date, end date, hours/week, and some asked for a supervisor’s name. If that is all that is asked for, you don’t need to go into details. If there is a space where you have to elaborate, a brief account focusing on what you learned from the experience with a quick mention of being fired would be the way to go.
