How to update the distribution name after an upgrade.

none

I recently upgraded the Ubuntu distribution on my Linode from 16.04 to 18.04. Afterwards, I noticed that the dashboard still shows the original distribution. Specifically, it says "Ubuntu 16.04 LTS, Linode 4GB: 2 CPU, 80GB Storage, 4GB RAM" under the Linode name, and I would like it to now show 18.04 rather than 16.04. How can this be changed?

This isn't something that our Cloud Manager is capable of doing at the moment.

We have been tracking requests for this feature, and although implementation is already on our roadmap, I made sure to go ahead and track your request as well.

Thanks for letting me know. I was going crazy looking for how to do it.
