Boss names showing up in the navigation window

Required objectives will always show up in the nav bar. If you want to remove the bosses from the nav bar, make them not required for mission complete, and don't put anything in the nav text plural or nav text singular fields.
If you want them required but don't want a list of all their names, set their plural nav text to be exactly the same. Then it'll say "5 crates of weapons to find, 5 bosses to defeat" instead of a long, messy list.

Gotcha. I had guessed that might be the case. Is it possible to circumvent the situation by making the mission "Defeat all" and then clicking to "not required for mission complete" on the boss settings? Or is that option greyed out/eliminated in that case?

Yes it is possible. "Defeat All" doesn't grey out anything but itself.

Yes, as we suspected - if you select "defeat all" and then go into each boss setup and unclick the button where it requires the boss to be defeated for mission to complete, then the boss names are eliminated from the navigation window...
Just tested it out earlier this evening, and it's keeping my boss names secret...heheheheheh, thanks!

I've been playing around in the MA, and found something strange when testing a mission tonight.
The mission was a collection, which also had a couple of custom bosses sprinkled throughout. The objective in the navigation window would read something to the effect of "confiscate the weapons," as I had set it, with the countdown beneath it ("5 crates of weapons to find.") What was very strange was that after the objective of "confiscate the weapons," it would add a comma, followed by the names of the bosses created for the mission.
Is there any way to eliminate the names of the bosses? Or have I entered something in a field that I shouldn't have? Does it have something to do with the Active Task Text, versus the Mission Title and Subtitle fields, versus the Navigation Bar Text?
Guidance and info is appreciated
