This is useful in M2PA and M3UA because it's possible to have multiple ISUP messages in a single SCTP message. Currently the Info column reflects only the last ISUP message in an SCTP message (and the current text is too verbose to include it multiple times in a single Info column). 


Your new code doesn't clear the Info column out, so whatever stuff SCTP
and MTP3 or M3UA put there put there will remain there; is that
intentional?
Actually, yes: SCTP, M2PA, MTP3, and (hopefully--I haven't checked) M3UA don't put anything in the Info column if a subdissector was called.
(Currently SCCP doesn't follow this rule which will become a problem whenever someone writes/finishes a TCAP dissector. As it is, the SCCPMG dissector works around this by appending text inside of parenthesis.)
