Trying to figure out how to type the actions symbols for the description of a custom heritage that includes an action. I've seen threads on the forum saying to use [[AA]] or [two-actions] and then lock the entry, close and reopen, but that doesn't seem to be working.

The text replacements only work for specific fields that regularly have action symbols in them.

For standard text fields, you could always use the ALT codes detailed here: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?50246-Pathfinder-Second-Edition-PFRPG2-Ruleset-Status-issues-and-ongoing-development&p=449356&viewfull=1#post449356

I've added an "Action Symbols" page to the Wiki -> User Guides -> PFRPG2 section: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/wiki/index.php/PFRPG2_Action_Symbols

Oh, okay.

Unfortunately my tablet doesn't support alt-codes so I'll have to improvise... If I just needed the one action symbol I could copy/paste it from one of the classes that has a one action class feature, but I haven't seen any two action class features I can copy. >.<

Copy the symbol from any field - it doesn't have to be the same field. Text is text wherever you get it from. Take it from a spell, or an NPC ability section, or somewhere else...

Ah! I hadn't tried spells.

For feats, the action symbols are in a place where you can't copy them; I assumed spells would be the same way. That works then, thanks!

How does one actually add a heritage? I'm adding a homebrew race but I'm not seeing a button to list heritage.

Edit: Nvm, found it nested in ancestries.
