Get Assembly Description string value from within the family editor

[FrankHolidaytoiling]

The Assembly Code can be found from the FamilyParameter and the only way i have found to do this is to lookup the assembly code text file. You can easily do this when opening families from a document or insiode a project, pls tell me there is a less convoluted method? not Revit lookup, it tells you yeah just use Assembly Description.

No the way you are doing it is likely the only way to do it from the family document. That is logical since the Family itself contains the value and the text file contains the description of what that value represents. The description value available in the project is a built-in parameter that looks up the code from the family parameter and returns the description from the text file. Why would the description be defined in two places i.e. the family document family parameter and the text file?
