Problems with Import for Hero Lab for Pathfinder First Edition

Hello, all! For the campaign I am running, I have successfully imported 3 of the 5 charactrers from Hero Lab.  A 4th character, however, is giving me problems.  It doesn't seem to be importing any of the feats or abilities. 1.  I open HL and export the entire character portfolio to XML. 2.  I go to codebeautify and convert the XLM to JSON. 3.  I paste the JSON stuff into the appropriate window for the HL importer in Roll 20. It imports stats, hit points, AC, equipment, saves, etc.  But it doesn't seem to import feats, class features, traits, etc. Any help would be greatly appreciated. -Mark

No clue if you'll get different results, but have you tried using the HL Pathfinder Exporter plug-in method? <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Pathfinder_Community_Sheet#HeroLab_Character_import" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Pathfinder_Community_Sheet#HeroLab_Character_import</a>
Just tried that - I presume I just paste the stuff from the htm file into the appropriate area in the character sheet (the area for the JSON text, right?) Got the same issue. ∇ince said: No clue if you'll get different results, but have you tried using the HL Pathfinder Exporter plug-in method? <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Pathfinder_Community_Sheet#HeroLab_Character_import" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Pathfinder_Community_Sheet#HeroLab_Character_import</a>

Not sure.&nbsp; IME I have numerous friends that use HL to import into the PF Community sheet without issue.&nbsp; It may just be a particular feat or trait causing a glitch.&nbsp; Might not apply and your mileage may vary, but I suggest only to import new characters (meaning they never update an existing character whether it was initially imported or not.)&nbsp; Some necessary "post-HL-import" housekeeping; categorize abilities(feats, traits, etc.) and equipment, adjust Skill point/lvl and add spells and attacks as needed.&nbsp; Maybe post a link to your htm file or PM the code to me.&nbsp; I'll see if I have the same issue and/or a solution.&nbsp; James W. created the HL import parser for the sheet and has made updates to it in the past.&nbsp; You might PM him as well in case he doesn't notice this thread.
