→Checkboxes:: There was contradictory information about the behavior of "Allow Reserved" and Start Game Enabled quests. The notes at the "Allow Reserved" checkbox were correct. Aliases on Start Game Enabled quests that don't explicitly have their "Allow Reserved" checkbox checked with one of the methods listed will not fill with a reserved reference when added to a game in progress. This is arguably a bug in the game, but it is the way it behaves nonetheless.
