Once again, I removed my data files, the 5e Community files, and completely removed and re-installed HL Still get the errors.

The capability to select a subtype (fey, celestial, or fiend) for a familiar is still missing.

Custom Monster is great fun! I am going to lose so much time digging out old books and doing conversions. I really like how the Armor Class, Hit Point and Average Damage things give you suggested numbers based on the Challenge Rating of the creature. It makes fleshing out ideas quick and simple. Is there any possibility of doing something similar for player character races?

 

[Hollis]

The capability to select a subtype (fey, celestial, or fiend) for a familiar is still missing.

Those are considered type tags in 5e. The menu is right under the types menu.

What are you doing when encountering this error? Did you report it to tech support?

 

[Mergon]

I reported it during 1.3

It only happens when I save a character with spell casting while I have 'Enable Data File Debugging' active. It doesn't seem to cause any issues other than being annoying. I hate annoying errors that I don't understand.

 

[Mergon]

I don't see any place to select or view types on the familiars character sheet when setting up a familiar. Am I missing it somewhere???

 

[yamatoblaze]

Unless I'm missing something, there is presently no way in the new custom monster builder to define the creature's multiattack options in such a way that the extra damage output will be factored in to the CR estimate.

I'm getting the same error, like EXACTLY the same error, down to the line numbers

It goes away if you disable Debugging mode. It's something in the HL coding itself. It doesn't mean there are issues in our own code and that is all I care about. If I am coding I live with it, if I am merely using HL I disable Debugging mode.
