Material asset description property

Hello

I'm accessing different material properties with materialProperties()->itemById(..) function. However I cannot find id for description property.

How to access the description property of material asset?

May be it is not exposed through API. Following are the only string properties exposed for a material. I tried that for 'Steel' and this is what I got.

('Class', '')

('physmat_classification', 'Autodesk.Material Classifications.Metal.Ferrous.Carbon Steel')

('External Material ID', '2:MATERIAL:MI_InventorSustainability:443FF4C0-B220-406B-A03C-AE1602BB69A3:48745BB7-BE14-4E5F-B4E0-4C3D4A7AE7A5:0')

('Source', 'Autodesk')

('Source URL', '')

('Subclass', 'Steel')

('Source', 'Autodesk')

('Source URL', '')

('Subclass', 'Metal')

I found some more:

'physmat_Type',

'physmat_Comments',

'physmat_Keywords',

'physmat_Manufacturer',

'physmat_Model',

'physmat_Cost',

'physmat_URL',

'structural_source',

'nastructural_subclassme'... and others

unfortunately none of them exposes the description.
