2917831 - ER - How to obtain the data source column name for a Dynamic Parameter's "Description" (CR4VS)

Symptom

In our application, we have a requirement to programmatically retrieve the details for all parameters in a given Crystal Report document. Part of this requirement is to return a dynamic report parameter's field value and description . To do this, we enumerate the ReportDocument.ReportClientDocument.DataDefController.DataDefinition.ParameterFields object. We are able to get the data source field for the Value (via the ParameterFieldDefinition.Attributes["FieldID"]), but have not found a way at all to find the field used for the Description .
