Action text on custom activity in Activity logging

I have made a new Activity type to use for logging changes to Users. So that changes will show up in the Change Log in episerver

This is my new activity:

public class UserActivity : Activity
{
public UserActivity(string activityType, int action) : base(activityType, action)
{
}

public UserActivity(string activityType, int action, IDictionary<string, string> extendedData) : base(activityType, action, extendedData)
{
}
}

public enum UserActivityType
{
Create,
Update,
Delete
}

and here is the code i use when adding an activity

var activityRepository = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IActivityRepository>();

var data = new Dictionary<string, string>();
data.Add("Username", username);
var activity = new UserActivity("User", (int)UserActivityType.Delete, data);

now an entry will appear in the Change Log, with Category = "User" but the Action is 2.

How do i change the shown action to a string i define instead of the int value?

I looked in the DLLs and found out :)

public void Initialize(InitializationEngine context)
{
var activityTypeRegistry = ServiceLocator.Current.GetInstance<IActivityTypeRegistry>();

var actionTypeList = new List<ActionType>();
actionTypeList.Add(new ActionType(0, "User created"));
actionTypeList.Add(new ActionType(1, "User updated"));
actionTypeList.Add(new ActionType(2, "User deleted"));

var activityType = new ActivityType("User", actionTypeList);
activityTypeRegistry.Register(activityType);
}
