Hey guys, do you know how we can check if contentdescription in modifier semantic is not empty?

for more context: imagine I want to have a component that can receive modifier and also label. if you give content description in modifier we should use that one for talkback otherwise we use label one.

This is kind of backwards from how most composables work. Arguments passed directly to a composable generally take precedence over defaults from the environment.

That said, if your caller really wants this, they can use clearAndSetSemantics.

w/o having the full picture here, it does sound like a weird request @oday

from a API design POV you can provide the affordances of your component via its signature (params).

ie, see how Image asks for a content description. Makes it explicit that it handles accessibility

Yea I thought so myself too, asking here was final resort to prove that the question /usecase may be malformed
