Passive Talent doesn't work for "spell known" load option when not using spellID

[CrystalBearer]

Is there an existing issue for this?

• I have searched the existing open and closed issues.

Description

In the "Load" tab, in order to enter a spell known, one must use the SpellID, as it does not seem to validate spell names of passive spells.

Hero Talents can and are different per spec. so that does not work.

Usually the Spell Known load option is the better choice anyway.

Then, if you have multiple 'specs' chosen, could you have the hero talent options from each of them appear separately for OR selection?

Usually the Spell Known load option is the better choice anyway.

"Spell Known" doesn't work if there is no spell. For example, using a WA to track the stacks of Bloodseeker Vines on a target can't do this because it's a proc from a passive talent. And you can't use "Spell Known" with the passive.

And you can't use "Spell Known" with the passive.

yes you can

[CrystalBearer]

yes you can

Ok. I'm trying it actively as we're talking. I must be missing how since I use this all the time on other auras and have never gotten it to validate on passives. In this case, the passive is "Thriving Growth". It's not validating for me.

So, unlike active spells, you can add them, but only by SpellID? I mean, that's fine, so long as I know that's what I have to do.

Plus... I will have to figure out how to get that on my tooltip or I'll be on WoWhead constantly....

EDIT: Or, I can link the ability into it.

Thanks. Will do. Sorry I needed a video for that; I appreciate the time.

I suppose I would flex this, then, to attempt validation for passive spells as well by name, if possible.

Sounds good; thanks. I updated the main post to match this request for easier reference.
