Can someone explain why auto fill doesn't work sometimes?

How come certain things do not auto fill on my quest script properties?

Like spells usually auto fill, but integers and some times races do not auto fill?

And the vampire quest has a "curerace" but it doesn't auto fill.

Does it matter if something is auto filled? Seems like stuff doesn't work if it isn't auto-filled from my testing. I don't know what it is for or why it matters.

Properties will be auto-filled when you press the auto-fill button only if they are named exactly the same as the editor IDs of what you want to fill them. Since there is no integer/float/bool with an editor ID, these sorts of properties never auto-fill. Since there is no race named "curerace", this property never auto-fills.

It doesn't matter if a property is auto-filled or not, as long as it's filled one way or another if the script requires it.

So do I have to auto fill the ones that have editor id's, or can I just write the script and forget that annoying step?

Definetly not. You allways have to tell what the property is pointing to, otherwise you do not get the desired result.

I thought so, but I wasn't 100% sure. Thanks!
