I posted an example. In the one box you can still see SS0 as the address vs in the above Move Box D1 gets replaced with the nickname. Is it possible to keep the Address such as D1-Info.  Everytime when I want to know what address I used, I have to go look it up vs if it was still in the box, that would be nice.

In both boxes, the Nickname, Description and extra info is displayed. Just wish the address would not get over written. Unless there is a setting, but I have not found it.

You only get multiple element/documentation fields on the FIRST parameter.  All the other parameters you get just the element or just the nickname (based on Nickname setting and whether a nickname is defined for the element).  There is no other setting to turn on all the doc fields for other parameters.

The Cross Reference tooltip will show you the element and any nickname if you float your mouse cursor over any parameter (except a MATH script or STRPRINT script).

The attached screenshot shows me floating my cursor over the PID instruction's "To Scaled Output" parameter, with a nickname PropGasValve (Proportional Gas Valve), which is all you can see in the instruction.  However, you can see in the XRef tooltip that it is tied to the analog output WY0 (and the nickname too) WY0 (PropGasValve) usage:.
