Can I reference a caption field from a Symbol Design entries?

I have a text vs depth entity in log report where I show a text information about well construction. The information comes from a Well Symbol Design but now I can show only the Names of Well Symbol Design entries. Is there any way to show a caption or description of the entries? I was looking for the info in help index but without any success. Thanks for any hint.

    The Caption field property allows you to "caption" any table and any field. It is what the user sees in Input. This does not affect and reflect on reports. Reports still use the Table and Field names.
    Same thing applies to the caption and the description fields of the library table and also symbol design lists. They are not designed for reports or output.
    You may want to create another column in your input that has description of that Well, and reference that column in your report. If so, you would want to test it a few times with your data to see if that suits your needs.
