More CC names for Strymon Big Sky and other Strymon pedals

I have created Macros to set all the CC values for my Strymon pedal presets, instead of just relying on sending a PC message for a preset. I noticed that many of the CC numbers lack names in the Editor. For example, BigSky has a bunch of per-mode CCs (like CC 64, "SPRING - Low End") but those show up in the Editor with just the CC number. Example:

Big Sky:Type / CC Toggle #19 off:0 on:3
Big Sky:Decay / CC Toggle #17 off:0 on:58
Big Sky / CC Toggle #64 off:0 on:10
It looks like this because CC 64 has no defined name in the Mastermind Editor's Big Sky device. I'd like to see the CC displayed in the macro as something like:
Big Sky:SPRING - Low End / CC Toggle #64 off:0 on:10

"SPRING - Low End" is what the Big Sky manual calls that CC. It could obviously be an abbreviation of that like "Low End".

If there's some reason why these CCs can't have a name, maybe you could add a comment field to the CC action so I could specify a name to be shown in the editor?

My rationale for setting up these macros is so I can store all the relevant values (not just the preset numbers) in the Mastermind Editor; this way if a preset gets erased or accidentally changed on the pedal, I'll have all the settings right there in the Editor already, so fixing it will be trivial. Backing up and restoring presets via Strymon Nixie is viable, but it doesn't help with non-Strymon pedals, and let's just say the stability of Nixie has been less than ideal. The Mastermind Editor has been rock solid, and super easy to backup and incrementally revise.

The pedals I'm most interested in for this particular request are the Big Sky (original, not the MX), Mobius, and Timeline.
