I was using '.description' at the end of Data Item Code but it looks like only some fields works.

When I tried to get data 'TR.PriceClose.description' , it works.

I need description at below so I tried same as before but it does not works.

Is there any other function to find field description or do we have document on this?

HIGH_1
LOW_1
OPEN_PRC
TRDPRC_1
NUM_MOVES
ACVOL_UNS
VWAP
BID_HIGH_1
BID_LOW_1
OPEN_BID
BID
BID_NUMMOV
ASK_HIGH_1
ASK_LOW_1
OPEN_ASK
ASK
ASK_NUMMOV
MID_HIGH
MID_LOW
MID_OPEN
MID_PRIC

    @Misun Gong Thanks for your question - so the .description does not work with non-TR.xxx fields - the fields in your list are all realtime FIDs/Fields so they have a specification which can be found here or under the Developer Tools ⇒ Data Model Discovery menu :

    You can find descriptions as well as information about datatypes and many more details.

    I hope this can help.
