Creating Material Asset - where is the description?

Hello

I want to edit a material and I can query any AssetValue except Description:

Description.jpg

I have additionally tested this "Write out all document materials to a file. API Sample" but without success.

Where did the Description hide?

Thanks,

Chris

I also miss the following properties:

 

PhysicalPropertiesAsset

  • Description?
  • Keywords?

AppearanceAsset

  • Description?
  • Keywords?

Thanks,

Chris

i have been looking for the description last night but could not find it. but the "Keywords" i could find like this:

Dim doc As PartDocument = ThisDoc.Document
Dim asset As MaterialAsset = doc.MaterialAssets.Item("myMaterial")
Dim keywords = asset.Item("physmat_Keywords").Value

MsgBox(keywords)

As you see in my screenshot above I can access physmat_Keywords.

I asked for Description. I think this a "dead" information without any use. You even cant use it as column in the appearance editor.
