Unable to update variable description - REST Api

Question

Hi Everyone,

I am using Figma Rest API to update the variables on Figma File... I came across a situation where I am unable to update the variable-description through the API.... For example,

consider someone has edited the description on Figma file.. I want to keep the description as it is defined in tokens( I am using styled-dictionary), if I run the figma-api script, was expected to update the description as it is in tokens, but it is not working..

It is working w.r.t tokens values, but not the description..

Update: For visibility here, you DM'd me that you successfully updated the variable description using a different endpoint.I've marked this as solved and closed the topic. Thanks!

Hi @Harsha_Hassan_Ravindra, thank you for your feedback!

I've shared it with our internal team, and they would like to investigate further. Could you please provide the REST API request and a code sample? This will help our team examine the issue more effectively. Thank you!
