REST API to read a field's description value

Paul Prachyl_yv1dml

I'm looking to create a list of fields associated with a screen and would like to get the description value for each field from Jira, so that I can include that with the fields on the screen.

I've been able to get the fields associated with an issuetype screen using

/rest/api/3/screens/xxxx/tabs/xxxx/fields

Is there an api to get the description value of a particular field? I'm not finding a solution

It looks to me like it is in the response when you use https://developer.atlassian.com/cloud/jira/platform/rest/v3/api-group-issue-fields/

Thanks, but I am looking for the "description" field in the response. The example in the link includes the word description, but it's in the data for different fields. I am looking for the actual "description" field.

The actual field "description" is not returned.
