Use your Parameter Descriptions!!

I was just working with a block with multiple grips for doing different things and thought that it would be nice if there was a little popup message to tell you what that grip does. Turns out that's been available all along and I never knew it existed. Parameters have 'descriptions'. By default they're blank. When you edit this to say something that text will show as a little popup when you hover over the grip.

I don't know why I never thought to look for this before. Now I need to revisit my entire dynamic block library!

Yep. Been around for ages. On some of my blocks I've added descriptions, on others I haven't

I never knew that existed. I've taught myself dynamic blocks through this forum and other tutorials, but none mentioned descriptions. My workaround had been to use invisible attributes to give directions. Looks like some blocks are gonna be getting upgraded. Thanks for the new wisdom.
