I've created a number of abilities that I want as options when selecting a feat. The abilities represent auras. So each ability has a unique id starting with xAura in the naming. As I understand with custom expressions, I should be able to show these things with syntax like:

~ the idea is get any thing that has a naming pattern of xAura
thingid.xAura?

~ second attempt
component.Ability & thingid.xAura?

~ I created a custom tag for the Aura and tried that
Aura.MyTag

~ And lastly I tried
component.Ability & Aura.MyTag

None of these worked. I've written custom expression that work with game components like spell, weapons, etc.. and haven't had any problems. I believe that the syntax above is fine. Are there certain resources that cannot be added to the drop down? I tried working with both Abilities and Class Special picks and neither worked for me. Is there some setting or tag that I need to add to get abilities to show in the drop down?

Some additional information.
Select From... was set to -None-
Restrict First List To.. was set to -None-

As a secondary question. When working with abilities, I've noticed that the abilities that I bootstrap to class specials do not:
* Show in activate abilities (when I configure the ability to show)
* Nor in the in-play tracked resources

Is this a bug? I configure a class special to show in activate abilities and it does. I use the same configuration for the ability and doesn't. The same is true for tracked resources.

Thanks
 
"None of these worked" - what do you mean by this? Are you getting the wrong list? If so, what's showing there? Or is there something else not happening?
 
Update: I figured out what the problem was. it was connected to "Restrict First List To.. was set to -None-." "-None-" seems to default to picks on the hero. The auras had not been bootstrapped to the hero and because of this they did not appear in the drop down. I need to change the option to "All Things."

This raises the question about the "-None-" option. It seems to do the same as "Picks on Hero." Can someone provide me some details on how they are different.

Thanks
 
It's because picks on hero is the most common choice we find ourselves using, so that's the default - you can leave it blank and get the most common choice.
