However, some Racial Skill Bonuses are also situational, but no notation is allowed:

Is:
Skills Acrobatics +1 (-3 to jump), Stealth +15 (+23 in coral reefs), Swim +16; Racial Modifiers +8 Stealth

Should be:
Skills Acrobatics +1 (-3 to jump), Stealth +15 (+23 in coral reefs), Swim +16; Racial Modifiers +8 Stealth (in coral reefs)

The condition allies to both, but there isn't a way to notate it in the Racial Skill bonus.
Just an opinion from an average user (no affiliation with LWD): There are some things in the rules that are going to have some overlap. From a coding perspective, allowing for every nuance of every possibility will unnecessarily bloat the product. So you try to allow for maximum functionality without unnecessary bloat.

In this case, you have the situational modifier which accomplishes exactly what you wish to do. In the Source field, you can add "Racial Modifier" or whatever else you would like to call it, so you know that that's what it is.

I guess my request would be to show the source on the stat block. It's shown on the character sheet, but not the stat block. Also, if possible, show situational modifiers on the In-Play tab with a check box.
