I have created a campaign action by largely following the guide at [https://docs.litium.com/documentation/litium-documentation/sales/campaigns/creating-a-custom-action](https://docs.litium.com/documentation/litium-documentation/sales/campaigns/creating-a-custom-action)

So when I create a new campaign by clicking the “New” button under “Sales”\>“Campaigns”, the “New campaign” dialogue appears. When I change action in the drop-down, the description changes. But when I change to the action I created, it doesn’t change, it just stays being whatever was selected last.

Is there any way to address this? ( `public override string GetDescription(Guid languageID)` is not for that description it seems?)

Litium version: 7.2.3

It’s not supported to load descriptions for custom actions in the action selection UI. You can create a bug report and mark it as a feature request.

The GetDescription method is used for when you’re inspecting a campaign, you can see the formatted action description in the bottom of the page.
