I've reviewd all the docs I could find for Economy V2, but can't find any description for what these 2 properties of an item represent or how they should be used.
What is the point of Keywords and Descriptions?
Thanks

Specific help docs for Keywords and Descriptions have been added here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming/playfab/features/economy-v2/catalog/content-types-tags-and-properties#keywords
This two properties are used for localized info, you can refer to CatalogItem.
@Gosen Gao @kylemc@microsoft.com thanks for replying, but these docs still don't really give any context on what these 2 properties are actually used for. Is this basically just completely up to the end user, or is there some functional difference between "Display", "Description" and "DisplayProperties"? It appears that DisplayProperties is not localized, if so, that name is pretty misleading since DisplayProperties indicates a visual description the end user would see, why would I use that instead of Description which can be localized?
One or two basic examples of creating an item would go a long way to reducing some pain points around understanding economy V2
It is up to the developers. There are some differences between “Keywords”, “DisplayProperties” and “Description” as we mention in the docs. Please choose the one you want to use according to your needs. If you think both "DisplayProperties" and "Description" will do what you want, and you think the “Description” is better, then you can use “Description”. Although "DisplayProperties" is for display purposes, but it doesn’t mean all info should display for players, you can also use it to control display settings internally, such as display position, background, border type, etc.
@Gosen Gao, the problem is that the docs do not describe at all what "Keywords" and "Descriptions" actually do or what their intended purpose is. Just look at the docs for yourself and you will see what I mean. They describe Content Types, Tags, and DisplayProperties well, but left those other 2 things completely out: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming/playfab/features/economy-v2/catalog/content-types-tags-and-properties
This is good context as well.

@kylemc@microsoft.com @Gosen Gao I still cannot find a single example or description on how exactly to enter data into Keywords
