Is there a way I can query for item description?

Hello there @mari-strivelabs,

When you mention an “item description” column. What are you referring to exactly? How do you create such a column in a board and what data is in it?

Hello @Matias.Monday ,

Good day!

Let me add some more context to it. I’m talking about the description feature which seems to be in beta.

Here’s the solution article I found on how to add it to an item - https://support.monday.com/hc/en-us/articles/17653444316562-The-Item-Description#

When I try to get this field via queries, monday seem to be treating similar to doc column_type - monday doc

If you see the above shared payload, that’s how the payload is being returned for this particular column

type - unsupported

When there is value added to such entity, it’s being returned like,

{
            "column": {
              "id": "monday_doc_v2_MjivrhZv",
              "title": "monday Doc v2"
            },
            "id": "monday_doc_v2_MjivrhZv",
            "type": "unsupported",
            "value": "{\\"files\\":[{\\"name\\":\\"Item description\\",\\"fileId\\":\\"69c99d4c-7e64-420d-b8ca-5e91e4bfe5d0\\",\\"isImage\\":\\"false\\",\\"fileType\\":\\"MONDAY_DOC_ITEM_DESCRIPTION\\",\\"objectId\\":694637,\\"createdAt\\":1733480257,\\"createdBy\\":64914261,\\"linkToFile\\":\\"https://strivelabs-force.monday.com/boards/1942606206/pulses/1942606214?doc_id=694637\\"}]}"
          }

When it’s attached to an item, every other items in the board gets this feature along. But the value would be null initially. So, my question is basically “Is there a way I can uniquely differentiate this from other column_types?”

I’ve a form in my application to create item. So thinking if this field is applicable & present, will add the description text to this column.

Let me know if this is clear, else will try to add more context.

Thanks

Thank you @mari-strivelabs for the explanation! I understand now.

I will double-check this with the team and let you know what they say!

Cheers,
Matias
