**Your software**  
My Mautic version is: v4.2.2  
My PHP version is: 7.4.29  
My Database type and version is: 10.6.7-MariaDB-1:10.6.7+maria~bionic

**Your problem**  
My problem is:  
I want to show in the CPP to the contact the Categories in which he is registered.

The title of the categories can be shown with the Category-list-slot, but it is important to me that I show the description of the categories to the user, how can I do that, is it possible ?
