Inside my "ForEach EntityField" in my custom .template, I need to output an extended property called "MS_Description". I'm not talking about Custom Properties in LLBL, but isntead, but actually the Description property that every column in SQL exposes. Our DBA says it's called MS_Description, but SQLMS displays the property simply as "Description".

Is this possible?

These descriptions are stored as extended properties in sqlserver and imported in Custom Properties if you tell LLBLGen Pro to do that (refreshing catalog etc.)

When I refresh the catalog and specify to collect Custom Properties, should I expect those properties to be imported into the Custom Properties tab for each field in the Mapped Entity Fields tab?

They're not.. I'll send you an email with some screen shots of the data I want to use in my template.

Where do I send the email? I tried support AT llblgen.com, but I'm not really sure if you check that email address.
