Dynamo Script Description on Dynamo Player

Dynamo Player
,
1

Hello All,

We have a few .dyn files which do quite different things from one another, and we were wondering if there is a way we could add a description (in dynamo player) to what the graph does like how a node within Dynamo has a description or a function in say Python has docstring?

Currently, I don’t see an option to include something like this if there is any.

If someone point me in the right direction, it would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

In Revit 2023 you can add a description and even a thumbnail:

Thanks @leonard.moelders for the update. I didn’t know of this as I am using 2022 version.
Any idea if the descriptions are also visible in lower CAD versions?

I don’t know as I don’t edit my scripts in Revit 2023 as it can happen, depending on the script, that I can’t edit them in lower versions anymore, due to the cause that nothing is shown in the editor then. I don’t know if this is a general problem, but it occurs on some of my .dyn-files.

Thats what I thought. Thanks for letting me know.

They arent. These days dynamo updates tend to only make it to the current revit version unfortunately.

It does seem like that. Thanks anyway.
