Hello I am a newbie. I was wondering if there is a way to assign a nickname to a Subroutine (SBR) and add documentation to like you can for a Stage. Thanks for the help.

No, sorry. The subroutine parameter takes a K constant value, and K's don't have nicknames.
Nicknames and elements must have a 1-to-1 mapping, but K constants are used in many different places (subroutine numbers, timer/counter presets, arithmetic calculations, etc.). For example, you might have a subroutine K10 that calculations Fibonacci numbers ;D, and a timer preset of K10 for a 1 second timer, a counter preset of K10 that counts the number steps in a process, and K10 in a BCD calcuation, and K10 in a binary/decimal calculation, where it may mean 16. Each of these K10 element references would need its own nickname, not the same nickname. There is no "context" for a nickname other than the element itself, i.e. "K10".
