Folder Descriptions

Question

Hello, 
 Does anyone know of a way to return a folder's description? 
 The folder() and getcontentdetailsbyuudi() functions don't pull back that piece of metadata, unfortunately.. I see some plug-ins that will allow me to edit the description; however, I am in need of returning the Appian Folder's description to display before I go through creating a table to store and pull all the folder data all this data simultaneously.

I also don't know of any way to do this (i had to double check the "getContentObjectDetailsById()" rule which has some handy work-arounds not seen in some of the other rules, but it doesn't either). It would be an interesting bug to raise with Appian - I say "bug" instead of "Feature request" since it's inconsistent behavior not being able to access the Folder Description when we can easily get the Document Description.
