The reason why is that as soon as you enter additional text it becomes a custom dimension and is therefore not connected anymore. It is unfortunate. What I do in this case is to do the extra information as text and place it next to the dimension. It is a work around but doesn't take too much longer than typing in the text into your dimension.
