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?

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

  • Surely not :( . I saw a post from a few years ago saying this was logged but it has not been actioned since then. Adding a custom attribute for an existing property is so confusing to end users. Is there any timeline for this? It must be a small update. – Connor Ferguson Jul 25 '23 at 15:35
  • Unfortunately we don't have a timeline for this, APS Date Management API needs support multiple Autodesk SAAS include BIM 360, A360, Fusion360, ACC, some properties conflicted, that might be the reason for taking time, but I will raise this request again for engineering team's awareness. – Zhong Wu Jul 26 '23 at 04:44
  • ok, thanks Zhong, its just seems a key piece of data for any integration with another system. – Connor Ferguson Jul 27 '23 at 09:33
  • @ZhongWu has there been any update on getting this property exposed? – M Leipper Aug 30 '23 at 16:04
