As expected, when I add the vehicle from the Gear tab for the hero, a secondary minion character is created.

When the minion is selected, I am trying to do is to display the appropriate fields on a new tab -

VehicleBasics tab:

  <template
    id="vbaDetails"
    name="Personal"
    compset="Personal">

    <portal
      id="title"
      style="lblTitle">
      <label
        istitle="yes"
        text="Details">
        </label>
      </portal>

    <portal
      id="lblVehCat"
      style="lblLeft">
      <label>
        <labeltext><![CDATA[
		  debug "Category: " & minion.child[actor].field[name].text
		  @text = "test:"
		  ]]></labeltext>
        </label>
      </portal>

    <portal
      id="lblVehType"
      style="lblLeft">
      <label>
        <labeltext><![CDATA[
          @text = "Type: " & hero.findchild[VehicleBase].idstring
          ]]></labeltext>
        </label>
      </portal>
	  
    <portal
      id="lblVehRel"
      style="lblLeft">
      <label
          text="Reliability: ">
        </label>
      </portal>

    <portal
      id="VehReli"
      style="lblLeft">
      <label
          field="vebReliability">
        </label>
      </portal>
		
    <position><![CDATA[

      ~freeze our value in advancement mode or if an advancement has modified us
      ~Note: All freezing must be done *before* any positioning is performed.
      ~if (state.iscreate = 0) then
      ~  portal[value].freeze = 1
      ~elseif (autonomous = 0) then
      ~  portal[value].freeze = 1
      ~  endif

      ~position our tallest portal at the top
      portal[title].top = 0
	  portal[title].width = width

      ~center the other portals vertically
      portal[lblVehCat].left = 0
	  portal[lblVehCat].width = width
	  portal[lblVehCat].height = 30
      portal[lblVehCat].top = portal[title].bottom + 5
	  portal[lblVehCat].visible = 1
	  
	  
	  portal[lblVehType].top = portal[lblVehCat].bottom + 5
	  portal[lblVehType].left = portal[lblVehCat].left
	  portal[lblVehType].width = width

      height = portal[lblVehType].bottom + 10
	  
      ]]></position>

    </template>	  

  <layout
    id="vehbasics">
    <templateref template="vbaDetails" />

    <!-- This script sizes and positions the layout and its child visual elements. -->
    <position><![CDATA[
	  perform template[vbaDetails].autoplace[10]

      ~perform template[vbaDetails].render
	  
      ~figure out the total height we need for the tab
	  height = template[vbaDetails].bottom
	  
      ]]></position>

    </layout>

  <panel
    id="vehbasics"
    name="Vehicle Basics"
    marginhorz="5"
    marginvert="5"
    order="110">
    <live>CharType.Vehicle</live>
    <layoutref layout="vehbasics"/>
    <position><![CDATA[
      ~get the height used by the layout and use it, as that means we scroll
      ~if necessary
      perform layout[vehbasics].render
      height = layout[vehbasics].height
      ]]></position>
    </panel>

However, I get this error:

Hero Lab was forced to stop compilation after the following errors were detected:

Template 'vbaDetails' - Reference to portal 'VehReli' using a field for a different component set
Layout 'vehbasics' - Template in reference 'vbaDetails' uses fields and must specify a thing/pick

What am I missing to get the tab to be able to access the information on the VehicleBase component?
