Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe. A lot of people will come to me for help with their configurations. After looking, I'll notice most of their things are configured for ZIBO 737, or other random addon airplanes.

Describe the solution you'd like I'd like the aircraft to be shown when you select a preset. It only shows when you close and reopen the config... but by then it's too late for some...

I searched "Landing" without filtering the data Clicking a config that looks like it should be generic because it displays no addon airplane name image Closing and reopening shows it belongs only to an addon airplane image

Describe alternatives you've considered

Additional context Stay Spicy! 🔥

That issue you brought up is one reason I always try to include the name of the aircraft in every event name. At some point about a year and a half ago, we were trying to make friendlier names, but I think it is a good practice to keep the airplane name as a prefix in the event name. So in the dropdown menus you clearly see which events belong to a particular airplane.
