User macro description not showing in macro browser

When I write user macros for our Confluence server, they appear in the macro browser by title only, with no description:

The description text only appears when the macro is selected:

I'm fairly sure the macro parameters are valid, like this:

## @param BackToTop:title=BackToTop|desc=Shows a 'Back to top' button when the user scrolls down the page

What am I missing to make the description appear in the macro browser window?

Also, the description has the inverted commas stripped out, for some reason

Hi @David_Bakkers 

Everything is correct. You just described the parameter "BackToTop" and not the user macro itself.

For describing the user macro itself, you need to fill these fields:

Oh, I get it. Each parameter has its own description, and that description is what appears near that parameter on the second screen. I was creating a parameter that did nothing.

I thought the information was parsed out of the macro file itself into the Macro Browser Information panel.

Oh well, I'll just manually type it in and set @noparams in the macro

Thanks,
