Hi,
I've got a lot of action descriptions which no longer match the details of the actions. Is there anyway to update the description based on the action's details (without manually re-typing)?

Most (but not all) actions can auto generate their description… to do that just blank out the description - click on it it in the action list and hit F2 to edit the description, blank out what is there and then hit enter… the description will revert to the default.
