Thanks a lot Yasar. For third party reporting tools this is a essential information. With the AdWords API there used to be a centralized repository (https://developers.google.com/adwords/api/docs/appendix/reports), and for each report you can have in a single place all the information about each field available in the report (type, name, display name, category, enum values, description, etc.). I'm missing this with the Google Ads API, and I guess many other developers too. If the service GoogleAdsFieldService is now the metadata service, I believe it should provide all the information about fields, including display name and description.
Another thing I'm missing in the service GoogleAdsFieldService is that for a given resource it does provide segments and metrics, but not its own attributes. We have been exploring the descriptor at resource level in each class (for instance com.google.ads.googleads.v9.resources.Campaign.getDescriptor()) and then getting the fields, but this way there are significant differences with the attributes that you can find in the online doc for the resource (for instance https://developers.google.com/google-ads/api/fields/v9/campaign).
