Skills mouseover tooltip

Is there any way I can have the mouseover tooltip or someway to show exactly where HeroLabs is coming up with bonuses to skills? I can see the ranks/class/tools already, but hunting down where it is getting the +4 from is a tad harder as you have to go thru feats/traits/class/race... to try and figure it out. If at all possible I would like to have the skills tab have only 1 skill per row and multiple columns showing ranks, class, race, feat/trait, equipment, class feature, misc... This would make it easier when I am verifying players character sheets for organized play and when I am making tokens for online play.
 
You can basically do this. What you need to do is go to "Develop->Enable Data File Debugging". Once this is active you can right click on a Skills ? to get a new drop down menu. From that pick "Show Debug Fields" and a new window will appear showing you all the different values used total up the skill for example.

Still won't always tell you where the bonus is coming from (ie feat) but it should help narrow some of it down for you.

Now personally I have learned to just trust HL especially sense all my players now use it. Because if their is a mistake its the same mistake across the board so its sort of a wash.

Anyways hopes that helps some...
 
Not saying their is a mistake, just I am totally anal about having the info show correctly when I make tokens for online play. Also, it would be nice for organized play where not everyone uses HeroLabs, but I remake their character sheet in HeroLabs and sometimes am off from what their character sheet says. I will try the debug trick and thanks for the answer!
