Orphaned Chained Pick

I'm getting the following error whenever I open one of my players' character sheets:

Chained pick 'abHeroP' on hero 'Human (Tian-Min) Mnk 13 - LG Medium humanoid' has been orphaned due to missing bootstrap in batch '718'

I don't notice that anything isn't working or is missing from the character, but by level 13, there's so much going on it would be easy to miss something. Any suggestions for how to go about debugging this?
 
That means that the last time this character was saved, a pick named "abHeroP" was being bootstrapped to the character, but right now, abHeroP doesn't exist, and can't be bootstrapped anymore, or that the bootstrap instruction for abHeroP has been removed.

I recognize abHeroP as the "Hero Points" ability that's used to display the Hero Points rules from the APG. So my guess is that you decided to turn that optional rule off, or you moved this character to a different copy of Hero Lab - one that doesn't have the APG package.

If removing "Hero Points" was intentional, then the fix for this is to change something about the character, like adding and deleting a space from the name, and then saving it. You won't get the error message again.
