Hit Dice addition disappeared

So, I was working today on adding hit dice to some monsters, but for some reason, my new creatures all lost the ability to add hit dice. I even went to an old POR file and set the defaults to the ones that creature had, and any new ones that use these new defauls do not have "add hit die" or "size increase"

I even have "Allow PCs to add Bonus HD" checked.

Did something change with the update to herolab after the 5e srd came out?

I uploaded a file of what's going on. The "Dire rat" character doesn't have the ability to add HD. The "gray ooze" was from a previous .por file that had the ability, but seemingly lost it.

the "B1. Waste Pool" file has the additional hit dice and "size increase" options available.

I just tried it on my copy of Hero Lab 7.5 and I was able to add Additional Hit Dice to a new Dire Rat PC after activating the "Allow PCs to add Bonus HD" House Rule, so whatever is doing it it's not just the 7.5 release.
 
Hm... well after some fiddling around wiht things, eventually it just started working again.

Then, I went over to my other PC, updated hero lab, and started work on things again. I have been adding HD to things for a while now, but now a monster I prepared is not allowing me to add hit dice. What I'm doing is I'm making encounters, saving them, then increasing the monsters to make higher level versions of encounters.

I have "Allow PCs to add bonus hit dice" enabled, but it is not working.

This is the file that started acting up for seemingly no reason. "Krenar's workshop +3 is where I noticed things not working. The previous one I worked

This has happened to me again. Recently, Herolab updated again and I KNOW I didn't change my settings, but it seems whenever a update happens, that option just disappears.

EDIT: It seems to be some kind of bug, as the option returns sometimes and disappears others.

I've just loaded up your "B12 K-Workshop +3" and could add "additional HD" to your Iron Cobra without problems. I did note that the Cobra was defined as a NPC, so I changed it to a PC and could still add Additional HD. The problem may not be a "bug" with Hero Lab, but just a conflict with your user files or system. You could try sending a message to LW support and maybe they can help you work out what's happening.
