Modded item not showing tooltip correctly on campaign
I've added a new enchanted item ancillary and it's working fine except for 1 of the tooltips.
In the notification that shows when the item is gained, it shows the name and the description from ancillaries__.loc, and it shows the generic icon for enchanted items, but it does not show the green text abilities for the item.
Similarly, if I equip it then hover the mouse over the icon around the characters porthole (bottom left) it shows the name and description but not the item's abilities.
If I go into the characters details page however and hover over the icon in the Character Stats area for the applied ability, the tooltip displays the name, description and effects correctly.
I'm presuming I have missed an entry in the .loc files somewhere but cannot find where. I have 2 lines (onscreen_name and colour_text) in ancillaries__.loc, 1 line (onscreen_name) in special_ability_phases__.loc, and 2 lines (onscreen_name and tooltip_text) in unit_abiilities__.loc.

Can anyone help with what I'm missing?

I've found it. The solution was to create a file that was not present in my game files.
In my mod pack file I created \text\db\<mod _name>_items_effects__.loc with the same columns as the other .loc files (Key, Text and is Tooltip).
Put the key as "effects_description_<effect name>" (effect name as written in effects tables)
and the text as:
Passive Ability: "<whatever text name you want to display>"
and tick is Tooltip.
