Disable "dropping" message in log

Greetings,

How do I go about disabling the following message from appearing in the log?
"08:07:45 - DDG 89 USS Mustin is dropping BOGEY #749 from its target list (Reason: The target is not auto-targeted, and no outstanding weapons or assignments against it exist)."

It tends to get spammed and fill up the message log quite a bit. I looked under the message log settings but it wasn't immediately clear what this would fall under. If I disable them using the message log settings, what other messages might I lose?

The better solution I feel is what is causing this? I am playing the Korean Missile Crisis and haven't edited the US CSG's standing orders at all, but all of their Small Boys keep spamming this message even though they're not in a mission that I can see. Any help?

File uploaded to original post. You'll see that the messages repeat every 5 seconds for each bogey and destroyer. Really clogs up the message log. That said if this is a simple user error on my part I apologize. The only time I've encountered this previously is with AAW Patrol zones and contacts outside them, but I haven't assigned the surface forces to any AAW Patrols.

Any ideas? Scenario is now in the top post. I don't want to be annoying but it's making it very difficult to play the newest scenario which I am eager to do.

Hi, we're still looking into this. We'll keep you posted!

Can you try disabling the "Contact change" message type?

Cannot reproduce this phenomenon. Can you please post a save where the detection has already been made?

Thanks a lot!
