I am having some issues with combination weapons in Fantasy Grounds for Pathfinder 2. For example, a Bow Staff is a weapon that can be used as either a bow or a staff. When I add it to a character's inventory the ranged version is added to the character's actions but not the melee version. Checking the data for the item in question does show it is setup as a combination weapon, but I can't do anything to get the weapon to switch over to the melee version that would deal bludgeoning damage.

It looks like there's an issue with the Combination? checkbox. Remove the item from the PC and before adding the Bow Stack, unlock it and click the Combination? checkbox twice - so it's selected (again) and some descriptive text is shown: "The 'Cmb.' fields below are..."

Now add the item to your PC - it should create a ranged and a melee entry.

I'll investigate why this isn't working correctly. Thanks for reporting the issue.

Yep, unlocking the record and toggling that checkbox off and on fixed the issue. Hopefully it's an easy fix to resolve on your end.

It seems to be that record. The combination weapons from Guns & Gears work OK. So I'll check with the underlying data...

It might just be an issue with the records for Treasure Vault. I noticed this issue first with the item "Wrecker" but when I went to make this post I re-created the campaign from scratch and no extensions, then for the screenshot I just did a simple character and just did the Bow Staff. Didn't have a chance to check the Crescent Cross, Lancer, or Mikazuki which are the other combination weapons from Treasure Vault.

Also, I assume there is special coding for melee thrown weapons since the dagger works fine and the record doesn't indicate it as a combination weapon.
