Solidworks Component Description displays link information rather than evaluated information?

Solidworks Component Description displays link information rather than evaluated information?

(OP)
Hoping someone out there can help with this problem. For certain parts for the description we link the descriptions to our dimensions. Say we have a bar with dimensions 1/4" x 2" x 39". So rather than type out everything and have to make changes manually every time say we change the length solidworks will do it automatically. It seems to work fine everywhere except under the Feature Manager Design Tree. For the description next to the part name it will have for the bar I described: Bar Stock "D1@sketch1" x "D2@sketch1" x ....
Is there a way for me to have it display the evaluated values of the dimensions?
