So it seems that it doesn't save at all. When I name my shortlist I click save, and it doesn't actually save it, nothing happens at all.

Plus I can't import my shortlists because EHM saves it as a .flt and the Scout uses the extension .pls.

Yes EHM:EA can read. By default shortlist is saved to User Data Folder.

Thank you very much for this! Just tried it for the first time and it works great :)

Just as a side note, went in to check the potential of both McDavid and Eichel (as I started the game with both at -10 so there is no doubt they'll be first and second pick so I'm not getting anything new or feel like cheating or something) and holly batman Eichel random'ed PA 200!! Yet he is still behind McDavid in the scouting rankings as CA McDavid is far better and the PA is not that far really.

.flt file? EHM save shortlist to .pls file.
First image: Attempting to save via the scout. It says it is saving it as a .pls.
Second image: Trying to find the shortlist I just tried to create.
Third image: Showing the shortlist I created from EHM:EA and that it is a .flt file.
Last image: The scout doesn't recognize the .flt file extension.

After save shortlist your log count change from 64 to 66. Open File->Log and check why asssistant don't save the shortlist.
Can you upload your shortlist I'll check if I can load in EHM:EA.

On my case, I have a 98 player shortlist exported from the game (.pls file) the loading process goes from 0-98... I received the successful imported message, but only 3 players actually show up in the assistant. Any idea why is that?

Here is the file of the log after I try to save a shortlist. I tried on the default folder and I tried in my C Drive.

Here is just a random EHM:EA Shortlist.

You are probably clicking on Filter > Export. You need to click on Search > Export. That will give you the .pls file.

Could someone tell me what's the staff potential? I thought staff attributes never changed but there's a potential column, is it useless? http://i.imgur.com/bbzR0B3.png

Staff CA and Attributes change. The PA for Staff is the same as PA for players (it's their maximum Potential Ability)

I just update my Assistant and give a try the shortlist mode, saving is ok, but when i reload it, the assistant is not responding.

If it loads ok, the shortlist is show nothing. For example, I save 3 players, but when I load it, none of these 3 players name show up.

Any idea how make this working?

Thanks
