Monster Stats w/Class Levels

I'm sure I'm doing this incorrect, and don't believe it's a bug.

I'm trying to recreate a creature from Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition in Hero Lab. I need to add Sorcerer levels to Lucrecia (Lamia Matriarch Sorcerer 5 when I'm finished). Selecting the "Monster (Levels)" and setting her stats to what is listed in the book (S24, D21, C19, I16, W14, Ch25, before the adding +1 stat for level increase). The program is stating that I don't have the correct array selected, though at the bottom it shows 14, 14, 12, 12, 10, 8. I didn't not enable the Custom Stats option. What I'm I doing wrong? I have attached the .por file of the character for your review if needed. Thanks for any assistance you can provide.:o

EDIT: Removed attachment.

You are trying to input a custom value in the ability scores (values of the book). But you say you didn't go for the custom stats option, but for one of the default npc options. By doing so you are telling the system you want an npc with those values (in this case 14, 14, 12, 12,10, 8). For what you are trying to do you will be needing the custom setting. (this still allows you to add class levels)

Also seeing this npc is from an adventure path that is officially licensed. I ain't too certain you are allowed to share it. (Even though you are customizing it, if I am understanding you correctly)

PS: Eitherway it is just a warning and you can still use it

Regarding licensing, my apologies if posting the character .por was breaking an official license. I'll try to remove it and remember that next time.

Regarding the stats, after I posted this thread, I tried building a new NPC selecting Monster (levels) again. Added +4, +4, +2, +2, +0, -2 to the stats before selecting a race (this time selecting a stone giant). Then another test of adding the bonuses in order after selecting the race. Still the same error both times. There must be something I'm missing.
 
I have added an image this time. This image is based on a new NPC with the monster level ability score selection.

As you can see underneath the ability scores there is an available section. When for example 14 is assigned to strength it will fill out STR under 14. To show it is used and where it is used.

This being said it seems currently it isn't registering double stats in this example. As you can see it is ignoring the second 14 and the second 12. This part might have to be reported towards the Lonewolf staff (through a bug report) cause I don't know why it isn't doing those correctly currently.

Edit: So yeah best I can recommend for now is reporting this and ignoring the warning given for it/use the custom setting to just prevent the message entirely and fill out the information you want

Thank you for the image. That is exactly what my HL is doing! I'll will report this to LW's support. I just wanted to be sure that I wasn't doing something stupid with the rules (which I'm known to do within my gaming group). LOL :)
 
Wanted to let everyone know that this bug is still persistent in 12.3.

(Lost the original email reply from LW so didn't want to submit another bug submission that would create a new ticket for them since this isn't a new bug.)
