Mission Tree Requirements
Plain and simple. Modify descriptions of things what require a mission tree so it actually displays the requirement itself.
As the current red lettered requirement is very vague most of the time.

Yup. This has been discussed elsewhere. Unfortunately, it requires retooling how the mission system works, to some extent. But, I'm definitely aware the current situation is confusing and not-ideal.
I fail to see how altering the descriptive text of an item has anything to do with the mission system at all

Because the "red letter text" mentioned in the OP is dynamically generated on the fly, by the mission system, and is not persistently attached to the mission-data in question. Thus, the programmatic mechanism that is used to generate the red text needs to work differently.
The requirement text is dynamically generated because the mission requirements periodically fluctuate and are modified, and we don't want to have to modify the static-description text across N number of missions (of which there are now.. a great many) every time we change a mission requirement.
