We need to pull group description with the group name.

For ex:

Group  name : administrators
Group description : Grants access to all applications and their administration features (excluding Site administration)

Atlassian, is it possible to return group descriptions along with names ?

Seems like a rather simple change. Our business needs this feature to dynamically manage group memberships please.

Hi

I dont think you can - see https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-groups/#api-rest-api-3-group-get

It does not give you back the description

And there is no other method that does that AFAIK

(there is an "expand" parameter, but that is to expand the users (in a group)...)

I have seen this https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-groups/#api-rest-api-3-group-get  but here group description details are not coming from these API's.
