Does anyone know why a custom trait would only show up in one portfolio?

[Senko]

I made a custom trait for a game. It shows up as selectable in the portfolio I was using when I made it. However in a new portfolio it doesn't show up even when I go to editor and select test to make it available. I went back to the original portfolio and I can delete/add the trait there. I even made the character in the new portfolio identical to the original one in case there was a restriction I was mmissing but it just doesn't show up. Does anyone have an idea why this might occur?
