If food value is 0 but charges is greater than 0, the editor generates a misleading warning:

"Non standard item charge 0 for item MISC_MAPSTATIC, expecting charge of 1"

The item in question HAS a charge of 1! Shouldn't this message be the other way around?

The item in question is a clone of MISC_ASHES. When cloning stuff to be consumed, should an existing consumable be used?

I don't think that there are any hidden properties for food, but yes, as a matter of course I would recommend cloning an item from something that is roughly similar to what you want. If nothing else, it's quicker for you as there'll be less changes to make!

Try editing your text file directly to swap the base item from ashes to, say, an apple - let me know if you get the same warning message.

I can't seem to recreate this problem when I clone an apple and I stupidly deleted my other items before checking how they were setup! I've tried it with an apple set to 0 food/0 charges, 100 food,0 charges and 100 food/1 charge and no warnings are given.

Dunno if this proves anything!
