Allow Reserved greyed out

[imnewhere86]

Can't seem to tick the allow reserved box in a quest alias. On top of that, I've been attempting to add a reference alias to derkeethus but it keeps coming up with nothing when I use sqv on the quest.

If there's some way to fix this without that I'd love to know too since the other thing referencing derkeethus seems to be able to get him as a reference alias just fine without that ticked.

Allow Reserved: Allows the alias to be filled with a reference which is already in a Reserved alias on another quest. Checking this will resolve some issues with quests failing to initialize because aliases could not be filled.

• This option is greyed out for Start Game Enabled quests, which consider their aliases to "Allow Reserved" by default when initialized at the beginning of a new game. However, ticking "Allow Reserved" may be required to avoid problems if the Start Game Enabled quest is added to a pre-existing save. To select this option on a Start Game Enabled quest:
  • Highlight the alias's line in the main alias list for the quest, then press CTRL-SHIFT-R to set this flag, OR
  • Temporarily disable the quest's Start Game Enabled status until you've ticked the box in the alias.

I see. So that wouldn't be of much help then. I'll try to think of something else.

Since the suggestion is to enable the flag despite it being greyed out this tells me this is just some Bethesda jank. I'd do that and test again; the chances of it working are relatively high.

 

Edit: And I'd do it in xEdit. I doubt xEdit cares about the Start Game Enabled flag.

Seems like it isn't working due to not having a persist location? I'm not sure how I'd set that.

Turns out it worked. Makes me wonder how the basegame got it to work without this flag set.

Because it was the first quest to apply the reservation would be my guess.
