Can specials not make selections?

[Lawful_g]

Class Specials can, and when you add a script to customize it there appears in the field button and "usrCandid1" field. I tried defining the same field on a normal (not class) special because it is needed for a template I am working on. I got this error.

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

File: DLBeastiary - Sacred Guardian Template.user (line 13) - Thing 'xDivineDom' - Attempt to initialize field 'usrCandid1' that is not defined within compset

Should I use a class ability instead or am I just doing something wrong here?

Also, when will the next d20 update be out and what will it include? I realize pathfinder is the new and exciting kid on the block, and a lot of things have been being done over there. I confess to feeling somewhat neglected over here in d20 and being a bit envious of all the cool pathfinder changes like the recent "Configurables" tab, which would be perfect for what I am trying to do over here.
