Looks joke this is a limitation to the hosted checkout pages for paypal advanced.

From the documentation:
https://www.paypalobjects.com/webstatic/en_US/developer/docs/pdf/payflowgateway_guide.pdf

on page 132:

L_NAMEn (Optional) Line-item name.
NOTE: To enable line-item support, send an email from the Primary email address on
the account to payflow-support@paypal.com

Starting on page 40, is the section for customizing the hosted checkout pages, the sample images shows Subtotal and tax only, The customizing instructions don't show a way to show the item name and details.

I can see in our code that we are passing the values to paypal, So you will need to contact them to find out if it possible to display those values.
