I am using CloudDNS for my Dynamic DNS updates for the hosts at my location.
The Dynamic DNS section of the dashboard shows
custom
Current IP: a.b.c.d
Updated: date and time.
custom
Current IP: a.b.c.d
Updated: date and time.
custom
Current IP: a.b.c.d
Updated: date and time.
One for each of the three updates I am making.
Ideally the widget would show the Description field I used to distinguish one from the other.
If I've posted this in the wrong place please flame me.

In OPNsense 26.1.2_5 I now see the custom hostname to the right in the widget. This is a good solution. Please consider this closed.

What do I need to do to enable this (26.1.5)? I still only get "custom". Is this because I use the dark theme, or because mine is IPv6 with its unwieldly / long address blurting out everything else?
Probably, your widget is one-column width. Try expanding it to two columns. That works for me.

That was it, thanks! The issue was that I expected it to auto-expand when moved to a wide column but it wouldn't so I assumed that it just won't. Instead, you have to manually drag the border to resize it. :) Still not great for IPv6 because the address is not entirely visible, and the most important part (the suffix) is outside the display area unless I widen it even more. Either IPv6 addresses need the entire row width, with everything else in another line, or the address needs to be linebroken, like the gateway watcher does. Thanks for considering! :)
