How can I, or can I, add effects to magic items like a Dragon Slayer Sword. The wiki has this code: IFT: TYPE(dragon); DMG: 3d6 but I'm not understanding the interface to add this code to the weapon in inventory. Thanks.

You don’t add effects to items. Effects are added to the players action tab. See this series of videos which goes through (almost) all of the effects. https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?41478-Effects-Videos-for-5E

Thank you, that's not what I was expecting to need to do.

You can use advanced effects to do that: https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/showthread.php?40833-5E-Advanced-Effects-(items-npcs-characters)

Welcome to FGU.

You create an effect in the actions tab using the STR: keyword. For example if the current strength of the character is 12 then you would use STR: 7 set the targeting to self and the expend to never and apply the effect to the character once they are on the Combat Tracker. See the video series on effects linked in post #2 above.
