Create valid CRM 2016 Alternate Keys

Question

I'm currently able to successfully create Alternate Keys in my Plugin by passing in string values. However, when I try to generate one for 'opportunityproduct' using 'productdescription', I get an error. Attempting to create one through the UI shows me that 'productdescription' is not an available attribute for usage even though it is a string field.

Is there a way through the Web API to figure out which string, decimal, or integer fields are available to use in an Alternate Key? I don't see anything under entity definitions or their related attributes

It was specific for CRM Javascript and utilizing the Web API since there's currently not much of a point to use it in the plugins at the moment, I can see how the tag isn't quite useful though. I'll remove. — zabby, Dec 13 '16 at 20:29

According to the documentation, Single line strings are valid for Alternate Keys. ProductDescription is a single line string, so I'd submit a ticketto microsoft as to why you can't.
