In attemping to configure a feature for a subclass, I wanted to grant Advantage on Concentration saving throws specifically (not all Constitution saving throws)… a modifier that is configured for various features within core rules. But this option is missing from the Modifier Subtype list in the modifier editor.
There's no modifier for this because the character sheet doesn't have any way of distinguishing Concentration saves from other types of Constitution saves. You can add in a note for it, but that's about it.
That feels like a completely backwards way of approaching things. Sure, the character sheet doesn't yet have a way of displaying it, but to disallow the data-centric definition because there is no current display means that when the feature is implemented from a display perspective, the data definitions will all be incomplete. (This is a comment to the local gods… may they hear reason.)
Of course, that reply also raises another issue: what field actually puts an appropriate comment in the relevant place? Because nothing I've tried gets it showing up where it will actually come across as relevant.
Modifier Type: Advantage Modifier Sub-Type: Constitution Saving Throws Details: saving throws that you make to maintain Concentration.

Thanks. That worked, even if I had to hack it because my other thread. It might have helped if the fields were appropriately named. Details is not an obvious name for that contextual modifier. And worse still that it ends up in the Restriction column of listed modifiers.

The field is called details because the field is used for all sorts of modifiers and the generic term is applicable. It is a place to add additional detailsof the modifier, so it is called details.
In the column it is labelled a restriction because it is one. Your modifier isn't applying generally it comes with the restrictionthat it only applies to concentration.
