Editor Help

I seem to have an issue creating a custom prestige class. The class shares many abilities in common with the Monk class, and I copied that class in creation. I deleted the abilities that don't apply, and altered the level at which others are acquired. So far, so good.

I created a custom Class Special called Wild Energy Pool, which worked fine. I was able to add it as a Class Special Ability acquired at 1st level. It showed up in the pick list when adding a new ability. Still good.

I then created another custom Class Special called Wild Energy I Abilties. Predictably, these are the first level of abilities that can be performed using the pool above. I created this ability from scratch and added it as a Class Special Ability. Still Good.

I made a copy of the above ability, changed the names and identifiers to Wild Energy II Abilities, and tried to add it as a Class Special Ability. It does not show up in the pick list, even though Wild Energy Pool and Wild Energy I Ability show up just fine. I tried recreating the ability from scratch. Same problem.

Any idea why this ability won't show up for me?

BTW, the identifiers for the Wild Energy I and II abilities are cNaMWildE1 and cNaMWildE2, so they're unique.
 
Problem Solved?

It seems that manually compiling the code, completely exiting Hero Lab (just exiting the Editor is not sufficient), then starting HL and the Editor up again causes the new Class Abilities to appear in the list when selecting Class Specials. I doubt this is WAI, but I did get it to work.
 
I've noticed that sometimes, especially when adding class abilities/making a class, I tend to have to restart Hero Lab for it to show up.
 
Note that Ctrl-R only works if you have first gone to Develop->Enable Data File Debugging. Which you really should do anyways if doing stuff in the editor as it really helps you find field and values on different Things in HL.
