Autodesk Construction Cloud - Get file Description attribute

Question

Surely there is a way to read the description attribute of a file in Docs using the API?!?!

It isn't returned using this endpoint as it isn't a custom attribute: https://aps.autodesk.com/en/docs/bim360/v1/reference/http/document-management-versionsbatch-get-POST

nor this one: https://aps.autodesk.com/en/docs/data/v2/reference/http/projects-project_id-folders-folder_id-contents-GET

Surely this is a critical attribute for any kind of integration?

Answer 1

Unfortunately, this is not exposed currently, it's a known issue and the wish is logged as FDM-3124 already. Sorry for the inconvenices.
