I kinda feel a bit like Dwayne, and felt things should have stayed the same from other material. Further on that, I don't remember seeing anything official from Paizo that these duplicated items in AG are actual updates/errata to previous sources. Is this official Paizo errata (if so, from where/whom) or just a decision of LW team?

They cannot be copied, but can be recreated by transcribing the original. If you still have an older, pre-AdvGui version of the PF files, install it in a newly created folder to have access to those original items in that system's editor.

They can be copied via LW staff. Transcribing these is asinine, LW should be able to release a copy of them for the community. Having to re-code a bunch of items when it has already been done, is a waste of time easily avoided.

I'll bring the idea up to my boss, but I am a bit uncomfortable with the precedent that would set.

Pathfinder is now pushing 10 years of existence, Dwayne. It's not a long stretch at this point to think that they'd start making changes. If you like the old version of something you can just add it into Hero Lab as a variant option yourself in the editor. There is nothing to keep you from adding the older version if that's your preference. Its not a perfect "Fix" but you can always get the prior version readded and get it into the community packs for everyone to use.

I understand your point of view, but you need to remember that some game masters will not switch the new version of class as soon as its out. Keeping depreciated versions of changed material would help people who might choose to keep running the old version of a class. I know this may sound odd coming from me, but over the 5e playtests the "Revised" ranger class has had many mixed reviews. I'd be pretty miffed myself if they updated it in a future release and my software accounted for the change without keeping the original. Especially when Mr. Mearls originally called it a variant class. If a Gamemaster doesn't like or agree with the changes in a revision, they have a Rule 0 right to rule a player cannot use it. For consistency keeping the old versions as community data pack data might be helpful.

I talked it over with Colen, and we don't think it's a good idea to give out old data files on demand. If you feel a particular thing from Avg should have been split rather than updated, you can submit a bug report and we'll take a second look, or you can reproduce them yourself and perhaps submit them to the community files. Hope that helps!
