Inserting Families From Revit's OTB System Family File the Assembly Description Disappears

So, I am building a new Revit template from scratch. I am pulling some things like the "Wall Foundation" family out of the "System Family Library" that came with Revit. 

 

Within the "System Family Library" the "Wall Foundation" family has "Strip Footings" under the "Assembly Description". When I copy and paste the family into my file, the "Assembly Description" goes blank. I am so confused. What is happening? 

 

The reason I care is because sometimes it's nice to filter schedules using the Assembly Description parameter, which I can't do when it's blank. The first photo is the "Type Properties" dialogue within the "System Family Library" and the second is the exact same family "Type Properties" dialogue after I load it into my file. Anyone know how I can fix this?

Hi,

 

You may want to edit the description within the family itself then reload it into the project.
