You can now include a custom note when adding a downtime activity. The field appears at the bottom of the form when you first select the activity. The note appears in your queue and in the message that is generated when the activity completes.
You can also specify a name for a piece of equipment when you queue the activity to make it. The field appears at the bottom of the form when you select the material and quality. If you leave it blank, the item's name will default to its type (e.g., Medium Weapon).
