[Mathias]

If you click OK, and then look at the character, are there any problems after that?

 

[silverhair2012]

Not that I notice. The list changes according to what type of character is picked, such as goblin or ogre.

 

[silverhair2012]

What does "Bootstrap in batch xxx" mean?

 

[Mathias]

These errors all mean "this used to be bootstrapped, but now I can't find it".

There are two things that might cause that:

This character was created with some book or user-created add-on that doesn't exist here (like you exported the character to a friend's computer, and forgot that you own a book he doesn't) - that's what this error is intended for, in order to warn you that there may be missing things.

A change has been made in the data files, changing the way an effect is applied to your character, but Hero Lab still notices something missing, but doesn't know that it's just because of a change in the method used for something, so it thinks it might be an error. That's what's happening here - we made changes in the way Types are added to characters, and the types bootstrap lots of various abilities. So this is reporting an error that's not really there. Once you've opened and re-saved the affected characters, you won't see the error again.

Alternatively, see if "Enable Data File Debugging" is turned on, in the Develop menu, and turn that off if it is - I think this is one of the errors that won't be reported unless you ask to see it.
