Since d20/pathfinder doesn't care about the creation/advancement state of a character, "Own Mode" won't change anything and doesn't matter in d20 or Pathfinder.
Ah, so presumably this is just a "generic" non-need applying to "other" platforms that the ONE editor supports?

To see how to build a minion with a pre-set race, as opposed to setting up a minion so that the user will choose the race after purchasing the minion, use the "New (Copy)" button, and copy "Dog, Guard", and then look at the bootstraps and tags buttons on the minion form.
Did that, just was unsure what that "logic" was applying and "the why of it"

Ah ok.... so similar to #1 above not applicable....

Curious doesn't the editor "know" which game platform its opening? I would presume (maybe falsely) it doesn't, otherwise it would seem logical to simply not include fields that are not applicable to that platform.
OR
Is there some far off plan that would include these and that is why they exist?

Thanks for the insight and support.
