Description

Is your feature request related to a problem? Please describe.
GUI sets/interprets cfs version 1 headers, and then skips data to "support" the other header types. Can't set or display extended or custom header data.

Describe the solution you'd like
Add support, preferably via a generic capability that can be customized (EDS/XTCE or other data description header definition).

Describe alternatives you've considered
Use a more capable/full function ground system if you need v2 or custom headers

Additional context
None

Research direction

No files or tests are named. Start by locating the GUI's current CFS version 1 header handling and related tests, then define how extended and custom headers would be described through EDS, XTCE, or another generic definition. Done means the GUI can set and display those headers without skipping their data.
