I’m in the process of updating the look of the books. I’ll fix this when I get to it (soon)

FGU: The help sections of NPC templates in the Advanced Bestiary is always empty; that is normally a third tab for those templates, explaining how to configure templates.
This is only a problem in FGU, in FGC the help section is still non-empty :)
Thank you for the report. We will take a look and see why you are running into inconsistent behavior.
It looks like in the case of fractional damage that only the first damage's resist type is taking effect.
For example, if I set up:
Damage with 1d6 + 2.5 fire and 1d6 + 2.5 electricity,
then attack an npc with electricity resistance, the total damage is considered fire, the electricity resist is ignored.
Hi bmos,
I like the idea. Of course, I also think the same thing might be better implemented as a link from the creature type on the main page of the NPC, though that would require a bit more of a change to the ruleset itself.
I only did Bestiary 5 and 6 so I cannot speak for all Bestiaries. I think the first 4 Bestiaries were done officially by SmiteWorks itself. I don't think it will be strictly a change to the module but will involve changing the development tools themselves in order to create the notes area link. There is a certain format that the tools format the "other" tab information, such as the image, the feats, the special abilities, and the description. A minor change to the tools might need to be made to place the creature type link there, as well. So I am not sure whether it would be more work for SmiteWorks to change the dev tools and then change the 4 bestiaries (I would do the other two that I developed) ... or whether it would be a smaller change to change the NPC sheet to allow the creature type to be clicked to get to the creature type reference info (or a small button to the right of the creature type to get to the information). In either case, I don't speak for the SmiteWorks so hopefully it is easier than I am thinking. Perhaps an idea informer suggestion to have all creature types clickable for their reference information. That would definitely make it official. I mention the idea informer because I think this idea transcends just PF1e and could be used for other rulesets.
