Spell description macro - can't seem to figure out how to get it to appear when a roll is thrown

Hi all I'm using the below token macro for an NPC Acolyte. It rolls the spells just fine, however on the spells like Sacred Flame it rolls the DC Save and damage, but I would like the spell description to show as well. When I choose the Bless spell, since there are no roles involved, i get the Spell Description. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Cheers :)  @{wtype} &{template:default}{{name=@{character_name} Spellcasting}} {{Spell Save DC @{spell_save_dc}=@{spell_attack_bonus} to hit with spell attacks}}{{Cantrips =[@{repeating_spell-cantrip_$0_spellname}](~selected|repeating_spell-cantrip_$0_spell) [@{repeating_spell-cantrip_$1_spellname}](~selected|repeating_spell-cantrip_$1_spell) [@{repeating_spell-cantrip_$2_spellname}](~selected|repeating_spell-cantrip_$2_spell)}}{{Spells =[@{repeating_spell-1_$0_spellname}](~selected|repeating_spell-1_$0_spell) [@{repeating_spell-1_$1_spellname}](~selected|repeating_spell-1_$1_spell) [@{repeating_spell-1_$2_spellname}](~selected|repeating_spell-1_$2_spell) }}

You can grab the description with @{selected|repeating_spell-cantrip_$0_spelldescription} if you wanted to customise the output. But the easiest way is to just edit the spell on the character sheet and tell it to output the spell description when the spell is rolled. For a Player Character it's in the spell settings on the Spells tab of the sheet, not in the Attacks & Spellcasting section on the Core tab, for an NPC it's at the bottom under the NPC actions.
Well that was easier than I thought. thanks for the help Oosh!! Cheers
