Effect coding IFT not working with CHECK coding

[Nyarlathtp63]

I am trying to code sorcerers Dragon Ancestor charisma ability check bonus but I cannot seem to get the coding correct.

I am using:

IFT:TYPE(dragon);CHECK:[PRF], charisma

but it never adds the extra bonus for the check.

If I use:

CHECK:[PRF], charisma

It doubles the proficiency bonus and if I use:

IFT:TYPE(dragon);DMG:1d4

it adds 1d4 to the damage done to the dragon but for some reason it does not seem to work with ability checks or ability saves.

Anyone able to get the IFT to work with abilities?

Thanks for your assistance!!

Referring to the Wiki effects page here: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/996642031/5E+Effects+for+Advanced+Automation#Modifiers

You can only use IFT conditional effects with effects that are targetable - have a (T) in the notes field. You can't use IFT with CHECK effects because ability checks don't target anything.
