Looking for advice on how to edit a weapon so that it does 1d6 fire damage in its normal role. An example of this would be a flaming rapier. Without getting into the rule rules. The rapier could deal 2d6 piercing and an additonal 1d6 fire damage. I did some research and had no luck.

This doesn't seem to work either

Again, any help would be appreciated.

Apologies if this was asked before, I could not find it.

Sorry for the wrong information. Figured I would remove the link.

You could copy the Flame Tongue as a base and modify the description.
Also I was pointed to this link for help with things like this https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/996642031/5E+Effects+for+Advanced+Automation#Damage
That link is for D&D 5e effects, which are different from Pathfinder Second Edition. The PF2 effects Wiki page can be found here: https://fantasygroundsunity.atlassian.net/wiki/spaces/FGCP/pages/996643388/PFRPG2+Effects

What isn't working? The details in that Wiki article, especially the example at the end of the page, show how to add 1d6 fire damage to a weapon. The gotcha is that you make the changes before adding the weapon to a PC, as the data is only checked when adding the item to the PC. If you want to change a weapon already on the PC then edit the weapon entry in the actions tab and add a new damage entry there.

Here's an example - the standard rapier from the Core Rules has been copied and the damage entry changed to 2d6/1d6, and the damage type set to piercing/fire. When added to the PC you can see the damage entry has been correctly created.

thank you Trenloe,
The gotcha is exactly what is happening. i was able to add the effect but I could show the effect it in the damage section. This really helped.
