Autodesk Forge - Document Management "Description" and "Sets" information availability

Question

Is there a way to retrieve the "Description" and "Sets" information for a specific item version in BIM360 Document Management?

I couldn't find any of them in the current Forge available endpoints for neither BIM360 or Data Management APIs: https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/data/v2/reference/http/projects-project_id-items-item_id-GET/ https://forge.autodesk.com/en/docs/data/v2/reference/http/projects-project_id-versions-version_id-GET/

Thanks

I hate to disappoint you, but it is true no API yet for the Description or Sets yet. We have two wishes tickets:

• FDM-3124: wish: expose [Description] with GET :Folder Contents.
• ALEX-24690: [Public API] Expose BIM 360 SET via DM API

I have appended your requests to the two tickets. You patience and understanding are appreciated.

• FDM-3124, this is about GET Description of Docs. It has been supported since last yea. Please check this blog: https://aps.autodesk.com/blog/fetch-description-attribute-file-item-acc-and-bim360
• ALEX-24690: this has not been supported.
• ACSFR-2560: we have a feature request ticket that asks for editing and deleting Docs Description. it has not been available.
