In any case, I just tried it in my own Lua dissectors and it seems to work just fine Perfect, thank you.

Wait, all scripts have a shared global namespace? Then I'll figure it out. I thought every script is loaded in a separa

I'm writing a dissector for a protocol, and have stumbled upon the following field:

rxRSSIVal IN

RSSI measurement of the received frame. This is a signed 8-bit value.

  • Values from RSSI_RESERVED_START to 124 are reserved.
  • All values below RSSI_RESERVED_START are received power in dBms.
  • RSSI_NOT_AVAILABLE - RSSI measurement not available
  • RSSI_MAX_POWER_SATURATED - Receiver saturated. RSSI too high to measure precisely
  • RSSI_BELOW_SENSITIVITY - No signal detected. The RSSI is too low to measure precisely.

I understand how to mark reserved values as invalid via expert field.

How can I format other values in the packet tree node? I looked at various field types and none of them seem to fit. Is there a custom field type where dissector code can control the displayed value?

Ideally I'd also like to be able to support filtering myproto.rxrssi=max_power_saturated and myproto.rxrssi=10, but I'm not sure it is feasible.
