(tasks related to this override-thread listed above)

The text override for replacing the output text doesn’t seem to work with this at all. I thought at first it was a spacing issue, but eliminated that. Then removed the %TheObject[%object%]% in the tasks to see if that was causing an issue, but still the overrides didn’t work at all.

You open the mailbox. The mailbox is empty.
The mailbox is currently open. The mailbox is currently empty.

The above is how the two tasks display in the runner. I created text overrides for each:

You open the mailbox. The mailbox is empty.
You open the mailbox, revealing nothing inside.

The mailbox is currently open. The mailbox is currently empty.
The mailbox is open and quite empty.

The overrides do not work unless I explicitly cut the original text back to one sentence. It will then display the override text, plus the text output added via task.
