How to set the Description (and other metadata) of a Dynamo Workspace

Hi all!

I’m trying to create a semi-automated repository of dynamo workspaces and definitions for my company.

Since dynamo files are JSON files, I’m thinking about a script that reads the contents of them and extracts some metadata.

I see that custom nodes files (dyf) contain the fields “Name”, “Category” and “Description” that can be set when saving the defnition, and I see no problems with that.

However, I see that workspace files (.dyn) have a “Description” field but it’s set to null.

I cannot find any way in the Dynamo GUI to set the description, am I missing something?

Also, It would be great if I can specify other metadata (author, tags, documentation), but it’s better to file a feature request for that!

Thanks in advance
