An example stat block entry of what I would like to try and do in Hero Lab.

Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit (with disadvantage against a target within 5 ft.)

How can the text in the parenthesis be appended to the weapon attack field?

I don't think there is a field for the attack text, I could be wrong but I don't see one that works to do it the way you want.

Why couldn't you rephrase how the statblock works and use the wAttackEff field in a script on the item?

I.E.
field[wAttackEff].text &= "This weapon attack is made at disadvantage if the target is closer than 5 feet."

This would make the statblock look something like:

WeaponX Melee Weapon Attack: +4 to hit Hit: 1d6 piercing damage. This weapon attack is made at disadvantage if the target is closer than 5 feet.

That is actually what I ended up doing. I was just curious if there was a way to do it the other way. Thanks Dungeon.

You might have also added it using #situational
