Howdy!

I am working on a system where certain abilities have 0 or more "Concentration" components associated with them (in gizmos).

a) Ability 1 might have A, B, C concentrations, and Ability 2 might have D, E concentrations.

b) The character selects a Background, which is component="Background" and includes the UserSelect component as part of the Background compset.

c) Each background provides the hero with a choice of a Concentration from several.
- Background B would provide either the Concentration B or Concentration E.

Each background uses an agent tab with:

<panel
    id="backgrounddetail"
    name="Background Details"
    marginhorz="5"
    marginvert="5"
    order="30"
    agentcompset="Background"
    agentlive="HasBackground"
    agentname="name"
    >

The selected Background has:

    <fieldval field="usrLabel1" value="Conc.:"/>
    <fieldval field="usrCandid1" value="component.Concentration &amp; (thingid.concOccult|thingid.concTheology)"/>
    <fieldval field="usrSource1" value="2"/>

the menu portal is:

    <portal
      id="menu1"
      style="menuNormal">
      <menu_things
        field="usrChosen1"
		namefield="name"
        component="none"
        maxvisible="10"
        usepicksfield="usrSource1"
        candidatefield="usrCandid1">
        </menu_things>
      </portal>

However, no matter what value I have for usrSource1 (0, 1 or 2), menu1 shows "Nothing to choose from". Only if I manually add Occult or Theology concentration to the Ability, will it then show up in the menu.

An I missing something to be able to choose one of the Concentrations and have it add to the associated Ability?
