Hello,
The 'Electronics' item type is misconfigured. It expands with 'Electronic' (without the "s") whereas all objects are included in the 'Electronics' type (with the "s").
Normally this should be properly configured as 'Electronics'. This concerns the items from the Central Supply Catalog 2023 Update.
Thank you.

All the Items of the same type from the original CSC and the updated CSC2023 have the word "Electronics" in the Type field.

Also, looking at the ruleset code, I believe it expects the word "Electronics" and not "Electronic" to set up the form properly.

Actually, if the 'Electronic' type is used, the 'Description' field appears, whereas it does not when using 'Electronics'. This is just to bring it to your attention.

The blank Item record already includes the Description field and adding "Electronic" to the Type makes no difference. Note that when you type Electronics into the Type field that the Description field goes away. This is how the code in the ruleset works right now and so it is working as designed. Why the Description field is not included for Electronics Type Item records, I have no idea.

Should Electronics Type records have the Description field? Seems like it should as I did put data in the Description field for many of the Electronics Item records when I imported the data. That would be a job for Toko Loshe.

I don't see any listing for 'Electronic' in the source data 'Type' Drop down. How are you getting to 'Electronic'? Are you typing the field or changing it? If you are that is why the ruleset is not behaving as you expect. The code sets a flag when the type matches 'Electronics' and based on that flag certain fields (mass, skill and modifiers) are displayed. If the type flag does not match values coded for, it defaults to showing mass, description, skill and modifiers. This is intended behaviour as the code matches on the full text 'Electronics' and 'Electronic' is therefore an unknown type not coded for.

I must be expressing myself poorly.
Currently, all items of the Electronics type do not have a 'Description' field. However, removing the 's' from Electronics makes the 'Description' field of said item appear, as written in the Central Supply Catalogue (see my example with the Binoculars item. By default, this item has its description filled in, but it simply does not appear).

I was simply pointing this out. Nothing more.
If the normal and intended behavior by design is that all 'Electronics' items do not and will never have a 'Description' field, that is fine by me as you are doing an excellent job elsewhere. I will make do with it
Thank you.

Understood, the behaviour you are seeing is by design.

Thanks for the report. What I'm thinking you are seeing is the reference_equipment class for some of those records. If that's the case then you are seeing correctly and we'll need to add in the description field.

There might be something wrong with the Trade Goods functionality. Someone was having issues with the Cluster Truck module, but I could not get any Trade Goods to show up for any Location entry. I also cycled through the various settings in the Options Menu, but it made no difference.

The trade goods load from the core rules or the core rule update, please make sure those modules are loaded. I don't have the cluster truck module to test with, I can confirm that the auto population is working when the core rules are loaded

This was definitely my issue. Once I loaded the Core Rules Update 2022, the Trade Goods showed up.
