Unexpected Landmark behavior

I just noticed this and am wondering if there is a way to get around it.

When I create a Landmark on GROUP Owned land, the DESCRIPTION in the Landmark is not what the DESCRIPTION in ABOUT LAND is. (I am the OWNER of the Group)

The NAME in ABOUT LAND is: BRV QRL9
The Description in ABOUT LAND is: 544 square meters
Owner - IBME Swindlehurst
(The DESCRIPTION in ABOUT LAND is on 2 seperate lines)

The NAME in the LANDMARK is: BRV QRL9
The DESCRIPTION in the LANDMARK is: BRV QRL9, Qinglong (161, 168, 48)
(It looks like the DESCRIPTION in the LANDMARK is being picked up from something other than the DESCRIPTION in ABOUT LAND)

If I go into PROPERTIES for the LANDMARK in my INVENTORY, I can edit the DESCRIPTION, but I can't make it appear on multiple lines even by using the \n characters.

On another parcel I have, the LANDMARK DESCRIPTION appears correctly. I think the LANDMARK was created before the land was changed to GROUP OWNED.

Is there a way to get the DESCRIPTION in the LANDMARK to appear correctly?

Thanks in advance

I'm having the same problem. I have group land (am the owner of the group) and I can't get the description in landmarks to match what I have put in About Land. When I create a LM, the description just shows the parcel name and the region coordinates. Did you ever find a solution, IBME?

the fields for landmarks is generated as
NAME = PARCEL_NAME
DESCRIPTION = PARCEL_NAME, REGION_NAME (X, Y, Z)

however you can edit both from inventory by right clicking and selecting 'properties'

been that way long as I can remember

Yes, just tested it on other people's parcels - you're right. So, if I make a landmark on my land I can edit the description from inventory and then pass it out. If other people make a landmark on my land, all they get is the parcel name and coordinates - they don't get any description I have given it. What a shame!
