The API Documentation is a great way, to communicate with developers!

It would be great to add a little more context to the data, to help developers handling it correctly.

The Base already has a description. This could be appended to the “Introduction” section of the API Documentation.

Descriptions for Tables and Columns

Description-Fields could be added to Tables and Columns as well. Helping to communicate the proper content of ambiguous fields.

Use Case:

Storing the production Data of print products in a base. In a print context the width of a page can be described with or without the page bleed. Additionally the description would help to communicate the unit used for the number field. A description for this field given by the author could be: »Width of the page in millimeter, measured widthout the bleed«

This could be appended to the description of the value in the API documentation.

Very surprised to find this is not included in the API docs generated for my table and hopeful it will be introduced soon.
