Broken Condition missing???

I have to agree that has gotten me on numerous occasions. It got me so often I copied it and made a "Broken Condition" adjustment also. Now my players and I never not find it. 
[Feature Request] Broken Weapon, Armor, Item
I would like to put in a request for a clickable checkbox or thing for an item's condition to be broken. I find that my players are frequently breaking weapons and armor and it would be nice to just click the condition on the item and the necessary penalties be applied.

Agreed. Place it right under the "Masterwork?" checkbox like this for custom items would be nice:
And while you're at it maybe put the Hitpoints/Hardness of the item here with a little text field for keeping track of damage to the item. GM seems to love to sunder our stuff!
Broken is usually going to be a temporary condition - something that's added when your weapon gets sundered, and fixed (or tossed and replaced) when you get to a town.
That's why it's an adjustment on the Adjust tab, and not a permanent checkbox in the custom item dialog - it's easier to add and then later, turn off an adjustment than it is to edit and re-edit a custom weapon.

Still no answer/thoughts on the following?
"And while you're at it maybe put the Hitpoints/Hardness of the item here with a little text field for keeping track of damage to the item."
We're constantly looking up the Hardness/HP for items. It would be nice if HL did this for us. It already knows mostly everything it needs to figure it out, at least give a default for the item and allow users to edit it and track damage.
When magic items get damaged, it can sometimes be a a long while before they are fixed, the CL required can be higher than the party many times so it sits unfixed.

It's still on the drawing board. The main issue is that the weapon table display is already terribly cluttered. I'm thinking that we need to redesign it and add a pop up form with extra but less commonly used information like HP and hardness, CMB bonus with specific maneuvers for the current weapon (where that applies), and so on. New forms take a lot of work to get right, and the demand for this hasn't justified making that a priority yet, sorry!
I'd like to raise the priority a little bit. Hardness/Item HP seems to be a information that is quite well hidden in the depths of various rulebooks so people like me & my group of players who don't know every last syllable in those books by heart usually have a hard time to figure it out. Having this piece of information in HL would help a lot.

I "think" (could be wrong) but is asking about the ability of tracking Item Hardness and Hit Points in HL not the the original thread question about Broken Condition.

Most likely, yes, but in case it helped I thought I'd chime in with that, anyway.
