Class docstring applied to fields of class (as Pycharm does)

[xxc-zsz]

Code:

@dataclass
class SessionMetadata:
    """Metadata of a Session

    Attributes:
        created_at: Date of creation, in POSIX timestamp format.
        usage_count: The number of times the session was applied to the payload.
    """

    created_at: int
    usage_count: int

Vscode:

PyCharm:

If I write the code like this in VScode, the hover document can be displayed:

@dataclass
class SessionMetadata:
    created_at: int
    """
    Date of creation, in POSIX timestamp format.
    """

    usage_count: int
    """
    The number of times the session was applied to the payload.
    """

But how to display the document in the first way of annotation?

Related on Stack Overflow: In VSCode, how to get on-hover documentation shown for class properties documented in the class docstring?

Also, why is this (currently) phrased as a support question if it's a feature-request?

I can confirm this issue/lack of feature. In fact, I posted the original StackOverflow question 😃
Thanks a lot for opening this issue, @xxc-zsz

I would like this feature please!

This would be very useful - as of now I have to duplicate these docstrings in both places: 1) for mkdocs, 2) for hoverdocs
