Does anyone know how to delete a source out of the list available? I need to remove one then add a different one. Thanks.

Find everything with that source, and make sure it no longer has that source. Then, quick reload the data files.

OK tried this and it got rid of the bad source.

Second thing though, when I enter the correct source, the field marked Source Name does not show in the list of sources when you select Configure Hero. Instead the Source Unique ID does. The issue I am now having is that the Source Unique ID only allows you to use 10 characters for the name of the source. How can I get the whole name I would like to use (Dragonstar - Starfarer's Handbook) to show up in the Sources list?

Ideally I would like to have a heading of Dragonstar and be able to add different sources under them, such as Starfarer's Handbook, Guide to the Galaxy, and others.

Thanks.

Quick reload once you create the first item that defines that source - after that, it will show the source name.

You would have to use a .1st file to do this. Have to work in RAW XML but its pretty easy. All the community data sets have .1st files so if you have any of those installed it would give you an example to work from.

For any large data set you really need a .1st files instead of trying to make and control sources inside the editor.
