I'm trying to get the description of a Workplace Group, but with no luck. if I try
GET https://graph.facebook.com/{group_id}?fields=description&access_token={ACCESS_TOKEN}&appsecret_proof={APP_SECRET_PROOF}&appsecret_time={APP_SECRET_TIME}
all I get back is the group ID. Without filters I can get id, name, privacy.
Could it be a permission issue? I have the read group content permission, and in fact I can access some data, but if I try fields like owner or cover they are just ignored, and if I try to query edges like members or admins it just return an empty array... Although, if I query feed I get the posts back
I solved the conundrum on my own: if the group has no description then the field is ignored in the final result, even if you explicitly query it.
Maybe a "description": null or "description": "" would have been more clear, but it's not my API...
