[Mission Builder] What is a Mission Pack and how do I make my missions be part of one?

[Inter]

In the Mission Builder, in the Mission Briefing pop-up window, there is a dropdown called "Mission Pack".  The default selection is "None".  I do not see a way to make my mission belong to any mission pack.  How do I do this? 

My over-arching intent is to be able to make a sequence of missions with results from previously completed missions persisting into subsequent missions.  That way I can tell a story or break down a long interplanetary voyage into smaller, more manageable intermediate missions.  In my head, this chain of missions is what would be described as a mission pack.  Am I wrong?  Is that not what mission packs are in the Mission Builder?  What, actually, is a so-called "Mission Pack"? 

 

Thank you.

Thread moved the MH subforum. Good luck with your issue, but I haven't actually tried the mission builder yet, so can't help you myself.

Currently you have to hand-edit the mission persistent file to use that field.

Like @bewing said, you ahve to edit the files. It isn't that hard to do, you just have to change one string. You can see the Squad-made mission to see where to do so. Then restart the game and it should work. Currently not at home, so can't give you more details, but tell me if you need more help.
