How to show names of custom scripts instead of entire script text

In the ToS scan tab, when I add a custom study filter, I want to be able to see a simple name in the filter section, instead of the entire code. See my screenshot to understand this

so in the lines with arrows, I only want to see "Percentage away from high", or whatever text I specify instead of the entire dang script, which makes it difficult to see if a quick glance.
Thanks

It looks like you need to save it as a study, and load it via edit condition, instead of typing it directly into the scan editor. And then the closer the settings are to the default settings in the script, the less text will appear.

Thanks. what do you mean by this "And then the closer the settings are to the default settings in the script, the less text will appear."
 
If you edit the inputs beyond their default settings, or select a plot other than the first one, it will fill those in.

ScriptName() is true within 1 bar

Will become something like

ScriptName("Setting1" = 5, "Setting2" = 10, "Setting3" = 200)."Plot_Two" is true within 1 bar.
