Wireshark "Decode As"

Hi,I'm trying to understand and troubleshoot some "Decode As" issues. To give an example consider the packet:
IPv6 | IPv6 | UDPWouldn't the second IPv6 layer overwrite the Decode As protocol number for the first layer, giving:
IPv6 (Decode IP protocol 17 As:) | IPv6 (Decode IP protocol 17 As:) | UDP Instead of the correct: IPv6 (Decode IP protocol 41 As:) | IPv6 (Decode IP protocol 17 As:) | UDPIs this a bug, a known limitation of the current code, or just my misunderstanding?
I don't think it is specific to IPv6, it's just an example. If it is a limitation it seems the Decode As proto_value() interface needs to be extended somehow, feedback very welcome.
Thanks, João V. ___________________________________________________________________________ Sent via: Wireshark-dev mailing list <wireshark-dev () wireshark org> Archives: https://www.wireshark.org/lists/wireshark-dev Unsubscribe: https://wireshark.org/mailman/options/wireshark-dev mailto:wireshark-dev-request () wireshark org?subject=unsubscribe
