RPP - tooltip during insertion of a macrostructure

When a user wants to add a macrostructure in a program (?-CP?) and enhance the settings, it would be nice to have a tooltip for each parameter with explanations.

This would help the entry.

    We have evaluated this request and determined that it cannot be implemented at this time because there is already a "Comment" button in -CP that raises automatically macro comment tab where usually parameters are described. As there's no formalism for parameters description in macros, we unfortunately cannot propose more than that.

    Although the theme of this request is consistent with our business strategy, it is not committed to the release that is currently under development.
