Display Sequence Call target Sequence and Parameter comments in the 'Step Settings for <Sequence Call>' Module tab

Status: Completed

It would be nice if the Step Settings for a Sequence Call step's Module tab would also list the calling sequences comments field and the parameter comments in addition to the prototype information. This would allow sequence calls to easily present information on the expected use of the sequence, along with parameter information (ranges, default options, etc) that would be useful to the developer. I've created a simple mockup of what I'd like to see here:

By adding these features, sequences can contain their own 'help' information which would allow the developer to configure the call without having to leave the step module dialog.

 

Thanks,

I am extremely glad to see that this may have been completed but, if it really is completed, how do I get the comments to show as discussed in this thread now? Is there an option somewhere that needs to be enabled? I'm running the latest updated version of TestStand 2014 and still don't see any parameter comments for the parameters in the step settings view of a sequence call step.
