- VSCode Version: 1.41.1 (Commit: 26076a4de974ead31f97692a0d32f90d735645c0)
- OS Version: MacOS Catalina 10.15 (19A602)
Steps to Reproduce:
- Create a function with a single parameter
- Add documentation to it with object parameter properties contained.
/**
* Shows a dialog to the user with the given title, content, and performs the onAcceptClick
* on the accept button press
*
* @param {Object} payload - The dialog information to show the user
* @param {string} payload.title - Title of dialog
* @param {string} payload.content - Content of the dialog
* @param {string} [payload.acceptText=null] - Text shown on the accept button
* @param {Function} [payload.onAcceptClick=null] - Action performed when accept is clicked
* @param {string} [payload.cancelText=null] - Text shown on the cancel button
* @param {Function} [payload.onCancelClick=null] - Action performed when cancel is clicked
*/
export const showDialog = (payload) => ({
type: constants.UPDATE_DIALOG,
payload,
})
All the parameters show for the method signatures but none of the inner parameter descriptions show. e.g. payload.cancelText does not show the text "Text shown on the cancel button" in the hover event dialog.

Note as well. Following the sytax defined here the default values do not show anywhere within the pop up. (I can make a separate issue if needed)
