Bug report - Oracle (flame) ability Form of Flame elemental size not increasing

The Oracle (flame mystery) ability Form of Flame reads:

Form of Flame (Su): As a standard action, you can assume the form of a Small fire elemental, as elemental body I. At 9th level, you can assume the form of a Medium fire elemental, as elemental body II. At 11th level, you can assume the form of a Large fire elemental, as elemental body III. At 13th level, you can assume the form of a Huge fire elemental, as elemental body IV. You can use this ability once per day, but the duration is 1 hour/level. You must be at least 7th level to select this revelation.

The size of the fire elemental form is not updating in Hero Lab, remaining always at Small.
 
Do you have Bestiary 1 turned on for this character? In order to use a polymorph ability in Hero Lab, you need to own a package that adds the race you're polymorphing into, or use the editor to add your own version of that race.

The same way that if you were playing from pdfs/hardcovers, you would need to look in Bestiary 1 to find the stats of a large fire elemental, in order to be able to polymorph into it, Hero Lab also requires you to own the book for anything you want to polymorph into, with a few exceptions, like the races from Bestiary 1 that can also be familiars or improved familiars (which includes the small elemental races), which we offer to all our users.
 
Thank you, this fixed the problem.

However, in the interests of QA I should point out that this is completely un-obvious. IMO, if a character is capable of polymorphing into a form that is not present in the database, it should trigger a validation rule error, prompting the user to install and enable (as mere installation is insufficient) the relevant package that contains the form.
