Just something to see if it might be possible to add in the next release. It would be really nice to have an extra field in the UDT datatype parameter screen that was a description field. This would allow UDT developer to add setup comments to each Parameter.

Hi,

I’ve added a ticket for this, as it would be a useful feature. Could also be displayed on the pop-up reference screen, to remind you of what the parameter means.

Regards,
