Python Toolbox Tool Parameter Hints

RogerDunnGIS

The tools that come with ArcGIS Pro have hints for each parameter. Clicking the blue (i) symbol to the left of the parameter's name brings up a nice hint window. (See Buffer > Side Type for an example). I would like to create similar documentation for my Python Toolbox tools. I cannot figure out which property of arcpy.Parameter to set for this. Please explain how I should accomplish this. Thank you.

I suspect you can edit the meta for a python toolbox as well

This will indeed work for me, but I didn't mark this as a solution. Who did, and how did that happen?

I had seen these properties, but the documentation seems to indicate that they are for warning and error messages. Thank you for posting, though.
