Bug description:
Custom Content : Title/Description Problem

  1. In MSFS2024 the Description field is missing, it was present in MSFS2020 and could span multiple lines.
  2. In MSFS2024 The Title is limited to 30 Char, it was not in MSFS2020 and could span multiple lines
  3. Every time you access the Custom Activity, the presentation content is different. I have 20 Bujshtrip in my Community folder. in five successive access I would get
    • 2 MissionSubType Group with only 2 Bushtrips
    • 1 MissionSubType Group with all BushTrip in the group
    • 1 MissionSubType Group with all BushTrip in the group but in a different order
    • 2 MissionSubType Group in one line, but the 2nd show only a small window in the group which is not selectable
  • The group presentation is always different en size, number, content and order.

Problem: MSFS2024 is much too constrained to let the user know what the activity is about and to differentiate between multiple activities from the same group. I don’ t see any advantages to these restrictions.

My package contains 104 Training Flights. They should be able to know a minimum of information (IFR vs VFR, Night vs Day, Which Plane, Weather, Tyoe of training, … Etc) before they select a training flights.

Repro steps: Create a Bushtrip with a Title greater than 30 char and with a Description field.
