If I go to the Appeal Documents for a given emergency, there is a list of documents but it's not easy to tell which one is the Emergency Appeal document itself, vs which document is the Operational Strategy or the Ops Update.
There are codes displayed - e.g. MDRPH056rea - but not a description
Expected Behavior
In the old days there used to be a description shown that clearly described what the document related to - e.g. here's a screenshot from the covid page - where it has the appeal code, the description (being a clear description of what type of document it is), and the filename of the document isn't visible :
And another screenshot from the Pakistan Monsoon Floods page - where again it's easy for a user to see what each document is:
As a user I would like to see a clear description of the document so I know what it is I am opening. Me being me I happen to know that OS = Operational Strategy, REA = Revised Emergency Appeal etc. - but people who aren't PMER/IM/Ops generally do not know these secret codes even if they know what the documents themselves are.
Actual Behavior
In more recent emergencies it's just the document's code that is shown onscreen (e.g. MDRPH056_EA or MDRPH056ROS) rather than the description of what the document actually is.
I realise there have been a bunch of changes to how appeal docs work, but if we could please make the further tweak to ensure the info shown in "Appeal type" column shows on GO that would be great. We can also keep the info/code from the "Orig. type" but that's not enough in isolation.

Note that ifrc.org/appeals does have the info, it's just not being pulled onto GO:
