Node Group Value Descriptions No Longer Show in 4.2. Is This a Bug?

Hi everyone,

I noticed this right away when I updated to 4.2, but prior to this release, when you hovered your cursor over a value on a custom node group, it would show the description of that value. Now it just says the variable type and value, e.g. (0.5) float. It’s very annoying and I was wondering if this was just a setting that was changed or if it is a bug/intentional choice on the developers’ end.

Here is a node group in 4.1:
Node Group Value 1

Here is the same node group in 4.2:

If anyone has any inside, I would appreciate it!

Thanks,
Samuel

I don’t think this was intentionally changed- definitely worth a bug report

It will only show you the Float values because it is a Node Group, open that group and then check the nodes inside… It makes sense because that is only a value in the Group Node, and to find out what it is connected to open the group and hover over the chain inside for the descriptions… 4.1 was basically skipping the float value and going directly to the connection inside which is wrong, 4.2 is the correct version, whether we like it or not…
