I have gotten the autoadd to work easily enough, but how do I have it merge with an existing item? For example, an autoadd to give 20 arrows, but you already have some arrows (of the same id). For now I just have two instances of arrows on the character and they are not merged. Is merging a buy-only function?

Autoadd to merge?

Oh I had not noticed that, thanks! 
Interestingly enough sometimes autoadd will merge things on its own. It seems that it will if you (the user) had added something on your own and then afterwards picked something that had an autoadd that gave more of it. It does not seem to merge multiple instances of autoadded things (from different sources).

Wouldn't it be easier to just use Qty and Auto-add so HL knows how many of the same thing to add? See HERE for details.Oh I had not noticed that, thanks!

Yes, thank you, that is what I did. I just noticed that at least in my own examples I have it only merge with pre-existing versions that were added by the user. If you have two sources of something that they autoadd they will not merge on their own.
My example is actually for Savage Worlds, where an edge (basically a feat) gives a character some equipment. If you have two of them that give the same thing then it will not merge. However if you already had some on your character (that you personally added) it will merge. I noticed this distinction after startng this thread.
Why am I posting here and not Savage Worlds? Well, there is a much higher probability that people will know something (like Aaron and ShadowChemosh). It is not so much a game system specific situation, but an option across systems -- at least with the three that I use.
Anyway, thanks. I was initially wondering if I had missed a step, but it seems that I found the "quirk" on my own. In most cases it is irrelevant, and at any rate it is easy to fix with a single click on the bag icon. Either I had not noticed that before, or more likely I had forgotten about it.

Oh I see what you mean now. Hmmm I wonder if there is another option/tag that would do this behavior. I only played around a little with autoadds and its all been trial/error.
Do wish we had something like javadocs where we could look up how such stuff works.
