Adding things to the "descript" field

Hi,
there is a way to emulate the #appenddesc macro for pathfinder in SW?
I need to append extra description to some powers after an edge is chosen.

Thanks.
 
I don't play Pathfinder and haven't used HL for it so I'm not too sure what that macro does to ensure I understand what your asking (but maybe some others here know what you mean.) I can say that I've often seen a few things mentioned here that are implemented in Pathfinder that don't seem to have been implemented for SW so that could just be another one. Then again if it's a macro then you should be able to just use the code the macro runs. More work, of course, but obviously it should have the same effect.
 
Basically, i have an edge wich adds effects to a power, and i'm trying to to adds piece of text to the description of the powers.
i've found the descript fields on the power, but seems that i can't modify it from outside.
 
I don't think we have anything like that here, that I know of. At least not if using concatenate ("&=") to the descript field won't work.
 
What I have done when something adds to a power is to make a new version of the power. Note that the text in a description will not print out on a character sheet. You cannot change data in a power through an eval script, either. For example, I had wanted the Necromancer edge to alter some of the data in the Zombie power. This is not possible in Hero Lab. The answer was to make a new version of the power that required the Necromancer edge. Swapping powers is easy as it is independent of "character creation mode" and "advancement mode".
