Meta Description on Secondary Index Pages

I’d like to be able to set the meta description for secondary index pages. Yoast seems to only be able to set it for the primary index. When I build the description in Yoast using snippet variables, they are ignored on the secondary pages and the description is the same as the primary index. This is not good for SEO.

I tried to use this in Yoast:
Not your Bubbe’s %%title%%! What Jew Wanna Eat has you covered with delicious Jewish recipes that are fun to make for that NJB or NJG!

But regardless of the category title, the description comes out the same. Any ideas?
