Hello.

When I get all the tags through the API, I see that there is a ‘description’

`"created": 1533285819607,"deletedAt": 0,"description": "","id": 6034534968,`

When creating and editing the ‘description’ field tags, there is no.

Thank you!

Hi @nnovosad,

Can you please provide additional information with what you are working on? What is your end goal? Where are you getting stuck? The more information, screenshots and examples you can provide, the better the Community can assist!

If you aren’t sure where to start, you can review some questions on the [developer forum](https://integrate.hubspot.com/)for formatting and detail suggestions.

Thank you,

Jenny

Thanks for the answer.

I made a blog on the hubspot.  
The client wants to display in his mobile application 5 topics. He used [this API](https://developers.hubspot.com/docs/methods/blog/v3/list-blog-topics) and sees that in json there is a field ‘description’.

```auto
 {
 created: 1532606751801,
 deletedAt: 0,
 description: "",
 id: 6002557262,
 name: "Payroll",
 portalId: 228948,
 slug: "payroll",
 updated: 1532606751801
 }

```

The client asks where you can set the ‘description’ for the topic.  
In hubspot I see that the tag can be changed or deleted -

Is it possible to fill the ‘description’ field in the hubspot?

Thanks for looping me in [@jennysowyrda](https://community.hubspot.com/t5/user/viewprofilepage/user-id/3685) - @nnovosad, I believe the only way to make use of the description is to create it using the API as well:

I don’t recall ever seeing an option for that within the HS portal.
