Why does Block Parameters Help not display the custom information within the mask documentation?

Why does opening the Block Parameters and clicking Help display redirects to the help article within the MathWorks Documentation rather than the custom information within the mask documentation?

It appears to be that case that when the 'Type' in the Documentation pane of the block mask is shadowing another block, then it will take you to the documentation of the MathWorks block. If you set the 'Type' to something else then your help section will be used.
In general, it is discouraged for custom names to shadow function or block names for this reason. Seemingly incorrect behavior can occur due to shadowing. Thus, I suggest the you use a unique name for your system.
Renaming the "Type" field within the documentation pane of the Mask Editor should resolve the issue you are facing.
