This is useful in M2PA and M3UA because it's possible to have multiple ISUP messages in a single SCTP message. Currently the Info column reflects only the last ISUP message in an SCTP message (and the current text is too verbose to include it multiple times in a single Info column).



Your new code doesn't clear the Info column out, so whatever stuff SCTP
and MTP3 or M3UA put there put there will remain there; is that
intentional?


Actually, yes: SCTP, M2PA, MTP3, and (hopefully--I haven't checked) M3UA don't put anything in the Info column if a subdissector was called.
Hmmm, (as Murphy would have us expect) I should have checked before sending that last email...

Currently M3UA does put the message type in the Info column even if a subdissector is called.

This behavior does lead to "double entries" in the Info column when using SCCP or ISUP over M3UA (e.g., "DATA IAM DATA IAM DATA IAM" or "DATA UDT DATA UDT DATA UDT").

I'll see if I can work up a patch to M3UA so that it only puts stuff in the Info column if no subdissector was called.
