It is important to keep in mind when using this function, that the Fee shown for the High amount might not be enough when broadcasting.

Long story short, it is best to use three times the recommended High fee when adding Token Descriptions. This is described in detail in the Creating a Counterparty Token section, and it is best to understand this issue by reading the My transaction is too low of an "Effective Fee Rate" section in the Troubleshooting / Issues section of this User Manual so you don't run into this issue either. You can also choose the Fee you wish to use. If you have basic questions about what BTC fee to use please reference What BTC Fee should I use?
