Hi @dec, thank you for your post 🙏  
Have you already tried the “Text samples” section in the Settings page?  
Hope this helps,

hi there Yuri

hmm. yes, i see that

hmmm, it seems issue is that that options list just FIVE lines of sample text strings (which you can replace or alter); but it appears you can not have more than five.

Thank you for the quick reply 🙏  
Indeed, the current number of editable sample lines is 5, you are correct.  
Thank you again,

Noted, Yuriy.  
the way it currently works is a bit clunky and buggy; but i would have to think about how it should be made more easy and useable

Thank you for your feedback 🙏  
May I ask what do you mean by clunky and buggy?  
I don’t think I’ve heard any users describe this feature in this way before. Also, when you mention making it useable, do you mean the feature is unusable now?  
Thank you again,
