Description for Notable becomes "Success"

I have a fairly hefty search that are looking for potential brute-force attempts in my network. I have verified that the search works and results in a table with the following fields:

end_timereasonsignaturesrcstart_timeusertitle

 

This is completely as I would expect. However, when I try to push the reason into my notable description using $reason$ the resulting notables simple has the word "Success" in their description. I know for a fact that every hit on the search has a fairly descriptive reason, which I can see when I perform the search manually. Pushing the title to the title of the notable works without any problems, even though both appears to be multi value fields, and there should be no difference between them.

I have no idea where to start looking for a solution for this.
