Summary: NATURALATTACKS tag not functioning in ability file

Initial Comment:
PCGen Ver. 5.14.0 RC1

NATURALATTACKS tag does not function in an ability file.

Tried CATEGORY:FEAT and CATEGORY:Internal

Sample:
1-Test Natural Attack	CATEGORY:Internal		TYPE:Test		VISIBLE:DISPLAY	NATURALATTACKS:Claw,Weapon.Natural.Melee.Piercing.Slashing,*2,1d4|Bite,Weapon.Natural.Melee.Bludgeoning.Piercing.Slashing,*1,1d6

Tag works when used in a Template file.

Unable to reproduce in 5.14.0

It certainly works in Ability files and Feat files, I can reproduce good
behavior on both of those.  If this is a problem, some subtle interaction
it taking place that isn't clear from the bug report

Issue is substantially similar to [ 1968842 ] Template not granted in
Ability File http://sourceforge.net/support/tracker.php?aid=1968842
and should be tackled at the same time as that issue.

James,

1st it was failing using the ABILITY:FEAT|AUTOMATIC|<AbilityName>  within
a Class Lst file.
My Next test just making a basic ability in an Ability lst file, and
adding it from the Feat list
My 3rd test was making it an internal category, and adding from within the
class lst auto ability (child of the ability) with the
ABILITY:INTERNAL|AUTOMATIC|<AbilityName>

So,
Loaded from Class Lst 
Added Manually
Load from within an Ability that was loaded from the class lst
Which is where I also tried the related tracker of using a Template within
the ability and then adding the template by hand.

How is the ability being added? Can you provide an example of how the
ability is used in the LST please?
