XFget to retrieve name from description
Is there a function to lookup the name of a member from description. I've been looking at the functions for a couple hours and cant find anything

There is no api function that directly returns a member name from a description. However you can use api.Members.GetMembersUsingFilter() with a filter of something like "A#Root.DescendantsInclusive.Where(Description = Equity)", which will return a list of Members matching that filter. You would need to figure out what to do if you got zero or more than one matches, as Descriptions are not required to be unique.
