Description

the setup->advanced->follow option in MissionPlanner sends GUIDED WP, when it should send the two supported FOLLOW mode messages, which are GLOBAL_POSITION_INT and FOLLOW_TARGET
you could send the GUIDED WP as well for compatibility, but definately should send FOLLOW_TARGET or GLOBAL_POSITION_INT so that FOLLOW mode works

Research direction

Start at the setup → advanced → follow option in MissionPlanner and trace how its follow messages are sent. Compare the current GUIDED WP behavior with the supported GLOBAL_POSITION_INT and FOLLOW_TARGET messages, then verify that FOLLOW mode receives the required message and compatibility behavior is preserved.
