Edit custom taxonomy description programatically

Question

I've added a custom taxonomy and I wanted to know if there is a way to edit a custom taxonomy's description.

Here's the description field.

IS there a function that provides access to this field? And if so, would I be able to use it in the New Posts page?

Answer 1

If you get_term() you can access the description via the description property. To update a term you can use wp_update_term().
