Tool Library - Post Processor - Comment populate w/ 'tool_description'

Within the Tool Library dialog box for a particular tool (Tool 5 for this example), I'm trying to auto-populate the Comment field located on the Post processor tab with the Tool Description field that is located on the General tab as shown below:

When using the method described above combined with selecting the Show notes check box in the Post dialog box, the results is an (<UNSPECIFIED>) line instead of the text from the Description field mentioned above:

Currently the description needs to be manually copied and pasted from one field to the next, each time the description field gets updated.  I've found that the Post Processor can be modified, but I'd like to see if there is another way to achieve this functionality without modifying the Post Processor if possible.  Thanks in advance, and I hope your day is going well.

The postprocessor takes information about the tool exactly from the line that you have shown. It should be filled with information about the tool. In the description tab, you can leave the details line empty.

Show Notes does not refer to the tool, it refers to the ones in the setup folder, I beleive ( I dont use them, i use manual passthroughs)

Correct as stated above, those are setup notes. The post has to be setup to output tool description. Screenshot from my Haas post below.
