Altium Import does not place description in schematic symbol, only symbol library
Description
Altium schematic import places most fields present in Altium directly into symbols on the sheet, but seems to place the description (and only the description) in the schematic library generated for the import. As a user, I'd expect all of the information to appear in both places (or just skip the schematic library generation entirely per #15468).
Steps to reproduce
- Import captest.SchDoc to fresh sheet
- Open "Symbol Properties" of C1, note description is not included
- Edit library symbol and open "Library Symbol Properties", note that description is included but no other information is
- To recover description quickly, close "Library Symbol Properties" and reopen "Symbol Properties". Open "Update Symbol from Library", choose "Select None" under Update/Reset fields and then check the box for only "Description" and Update.
