Is it possible to change the title of a mission objective?

Hello everyone,

I've just started tinkering with the Mission Architect - a task I have postponed since its launch - and I'm quickly grasping the finer points of the interface. However, one thing yet eludes me. Only the names show up on the mission objectives (ie. Valdios, Astral Soldier) and they don't describe the function (ie. Defeat the Boss! Regroup with Positron!). I find this frustrating as I am attempting to make my arc as professionally assembled as possible.

While I can change the boss name to fit the context of the objective I want to set, having that text over the boss looks even worse. I have tried to do some searching for a solution to this but haven't had much luck. Can someone please advise if there is a way to modify the name of the mission objective to something other than the name of the creature or object it is referring to?

Thank you in advance.

Definitely.

Select your Boss detail, and click into Boss Text. Locate the entry for Navigation Text. Add your text to the Navigation Text (Singular) field. The Plural field is used for when the Quantity option is more than one.

Good luck.

Also note that it's possible to make multiple objects use the same text. If you wanted to group together a boss fight with hostage rescues (one hostage is in fact an enemy) using "hostages to rescue" as the plural text and "Rescue the last hostage" as the singular text for each event will count it down normally (3 hostages to rescue) regardless of whether the hostile hostage is encountered first, second, or last.
