Yes, MAFileDescription is sort of a primitive type, mainly because in the user interface it appears as a single upload/download field. > What would be the most interesting path here: add the required > descriptions to the classes or just go ahead and stream the > attributes? I guess it would make sense to add these descriptions as a class extension. This is one of most useful techniques of Magritte, that you can attach new descriptions to any class in the system. I use this all the time. > It seems to me that the second options make the Json visitor to > tightly coupled to the MAFileModel class.

I don't know if it makes sense to add these descriptions to the core at the moment?
