I would like this so I can have the ability listed on the character sheet and adjust afterwards or by the Adjust Tab until you have added it in the database later on when you start adding more Paizo books. As an example I wanted to add a Trait that is not in your database yet, but to do so I had to use your editor which As I stated above I hate, it would have been much easier to just had it in name only, and adjust what I needed to adjust in the adjust tab.
I am not sure I understand why you can't do this? Using your trait as an example you can just do a New(Blank) Thing and input the Name, the Desc Text, and give it a unique ID. Then with mouse clicks choose the type of trait and now even select a specific god or race. No scripting required. Then do a Test(Now!) and the trait can be added to your character.

Then like you said just go to the adjust tab and do the adjust yourself.

A little more work would be to copy a trait(many are VERY alike) and take its script to do the adjustment for you so you don't forget after adding it to a character.

So one can just enter a Thing (used with a capital I am referencing things inside the Editor in a very Generic term) with text and a Unique ID and be done. For weapons or armor about 99% of everything you need to do to these Things is just a mouse click.

Hope that helps.
