the REST api doesn't support it, but I dug through the server code a bit today and it looks like it should be easy to pipe through. I'll ask @benlower to put it on our backlog for the server work.
Could someone please give an update on this feature. I'm the Tableau architect for a major bank and am working on an automated process to deploy enterprise data sources and workbooks to the all of the sites on our enterprise Tableau server. We need to be able to create projects (with descriptions) automatically for new sites.
Hello, we have the same issue, but this topic is already 4 years old. There is another place where Tableau server-side improvement are discussed?
Edit:
The only workaround i see is to publish a new datasource with same name how is explained into the api doc. In this case i have no idea about the side effects on all dependencies.

Hey Mark!
I just checked, the REST API backend doesn't support this -- we should add it!

It's also definitely a bug if we're overwriting existing descriptions!

Curious to know if this is still on anyone's radar. I just checked and it is still a problem in 2019.2.

This is still a missing feature on 2019.3.3. Our client (a major fortune 500 company) would love to see this feature materialize.

Still unavailable?

With every release I'm like "maybe...maybe...dangit". I'm sure there are cross team dynamics at play.

Also still hoping for this capability to be available soon!

Any updates on where this is?

This was fixed in 2023, I have now added code demonstrating it to the explore_datasource sample.
