Add "Description" as a property to Workbook and Views

[kentgeorgeson]

Raw Tableau API now supports "Description" of Workbooks and Views. Can we add that property here so we can get/set the description associated with a Workbook and View within that Workbook?

I was needing this as well. Looking at thread https://community.tableau.com/thread/311193 and verified the description works on a workbook publish (which is what I am after)

I was looking for the Workbook description today, I gave the documentation a quick scan and seen that Data Sources and Projects had the description attribute but it was missing elsewhere. Upon listing the attributes of the Workbook object, you can see description and it pulls the correct value. Looks like the documentation has not kept up with the development.

The workbook description is complete and documented. There is not an equivalent description for a view, but there is a caption which the REST API can't manipulate, so that can't be added to this library.
