Advertising Device not showing up in Wireshark nrFSniffer toolbar Device Drop down list

I am using a raspberry pi that is running a NUS service. The PacketList in Wireshark shows the advertising packets from the device, but the device is not showing up in the Wireshark nRFSniffer toolbar Device drop down list.

The PDU type is ADV_IND which I though would flat the device to be in the drop down list. However, I did notice in the Advertising Data, there is no flag element (AD Type 0x01).

Is this element required in order for the nRF sniffer to monitor a connection?
