nRF Connect - Bluetooth Low Energy does not honor TEXT format for characteristic descriptor in the uuid_definitions.json

[Alex Tishchenko]

Hello!

Running Windows 10, nRF Connect for Desktop v3.7.0, Bluetooth Low Energy v2.5.2.

Have the following section added to the uuid_definitions.json:

...
    "uuid16bitDescriptorDefinitions": {
        "2901": {
            "name": "Characteristic Description",
            "format": "TEXT"
        }
    },
...

The problem is, that the program takes into account the "name" field, but completely ignores the "format" field, as you can see here:

the byte array '41 64...' contains a string 'Advertisement count'.

(CharacteristicDefinitions 16 and 128bit work ok)
