VRBO Listing Description Improvements

When hostfully is integrated with VRBO, the listing description is all out of order. The notes section is at the top, which should be at the bottom like Airbnb. Several fields, are noted through the listing description in a weird order without a headline and it doesn't make any sense. The fields for the neighborhood, interaction, access and transit are described throughout the VRBO listing with no headline and in a very weird order. Those fields should only communicate with Airbnb, since there is no equivalent for VRBO. It creates a very confusing VRBO listing.

    This is a top issue for me and hope this gets looked at by the team asap. I agree with the commenter it creates a very confusing listing. Simple fix would be to move "the space" section to the first text block that populates under the summary description. and spacing between the text boxes (coding breaks) so the text boxes are not running into each other on the VRBO listing. thanks

    It makes no sense that we should have to significantly chop our listing character counts down for only 1 platform so it syncs correctly ! Making the listing topics fields as a cookie-cutter one size fits all does NOT makes sense at all and it would be great if Hostfully could address this asap so VRBO can pull from a separate condensed version of the listing topics so my other platform listings are not affected

    your system really needs to have a separate "space" ,neighborhood,and other listing description categories that is for only VRBO to grab from so we can just have a condensed version of our main listing description categories so we can keep under their stupid 10k total character limit.

    The order should be the same. Hostfully should add section headings so the listing makes sense but not adding those fields is not useful as we have no other place to put that information .

    I see a few possible solutions:
    1) given airbnb now limits field lengths there should be an option to have longer fields for platforms that support longer
    2) optionally allow separate content for other platforms (presumably most have just one field. So we would have the separate airbnb fields and then on “long listing content” field that would get sent to all other platforms

    Not ideal as we have to manually insure content updated happen in multiple locations.

    3) platform chdckboses for each field so we can decide which field content gets sunced to which platform
