    I may need to get you to PM me a copy of the module to test out via DropBox/OneDrive/GoogleDrive link.

    Done!

If so, then re-enable them until you find out which one it is.

    Moon might prove me wrong, but start there
    I don't think there are any of the extensions as I started a new campaign with no extensions running and the problem was still there.

    I noticed this problem after one of the recent updates with modules that are created using my Portable Compendium converter.

    Based on what I can remember, and from checking the changes I made to fix it, the entries in the reference_classfeatlist window were originally using a <source></source> tag to define the name that appears in the first column.

    I changed them all to <name></name> tags and that fixed the issue.


    Edit to clarify the timing: going through my backups it looks like this occurred during an update in or around Sep 2023, and not during the March 2024 updates.

    I took a new look through the feats dataset and noticed one thing. In the description type Feats has a upper case F, while the all other mentions of feats are in all lower case. Could this be the reason? Attached just a little snippet of the file below.


    Code:
    <lists static="true">
    		<feats>
    			<description type="string">Feats</description>
    			<groups>
                                 <feat2featsCategoryParagon>
    					<description type="string">Paragon (606)</description>
    					<powers>
                                                    <WhirlingIronDefense33681>
    							<link type="windowreference">
    								<class>powerdesc</class>
    								<recordname>reference.feats.WhirlingIronDefense33681@Feats</recordname>
    							</link>
    						</WhirlingIronDefense33681>
    					</powers>
    				</feat2featsCategoryParagon>
    			</groups>
    		</feats>
    	</lists>
    	<library>
    		<libraryModule>
    			<name type="string">Feats</name>
    			<categoryname type="string">Character Features</categoryname>
    			<entries>
    				<feats>
    					<librarylink type="windowreference">
    						<class>reference_classfeatlist</class>
    						<recordname>lists.feats@Feats</recordname>
    					</librarylink>
    					<name type="string">Feats (3271)</name>
    				</feats>
    			</entries>
    		</libraryModule>
    	</library>

    Doing some more digging, I think the issue is that the individual feat entries within the <lists> tag now require a <name> tag to be displayed in the first column.

    It seems that prior to Sep 2023-ish the entries within the reference_classfeatlist would grab the name entry from the linked record within the <reference><feats> tag, the same way it grabs the Prerequisites & Benefits.


    If you add this tag immediately before the </WhirlingIronDefense33681> it should work according to my observations.
    Code:
    <name type="string">Whirling Iron Defense</name>

    One of the devs can probably clarify - this is just my observation from creating modules of 4E rules elements.

    Makes kinda sense. I have had these modules since I scraped them from the original character builder site years ago. It might have been as far back as 2016 or something. I still got those files. I dont remember which software I used to get the data files downloaded with and generating the modules for Fantasygrounds. But it was a couple of years before FGU was announced at least.

    Maybe I should try to make new module files as it seems a difficult task to insert the necessary code unless it is a search and replace. Last time I really ran fantasygrounds for character generation or any real games was almost 2 years ago.

    I was able to reproduce the issue. No Extensions. Need to go through Modules then to Feat.

    Thanks for the file, I was able to recreate the scenario. I'm planning to post a fix next week.

    How did you get the different module elements organized like that? The parser I used back them organized the stuff like the attached picture shows.

    I would love to get a better organization of the different elements

    Those are all individual modules. You'll need to combine them into a single db.xml file (or client.xml for a player facing module) within one module.
