== Editing Form Lists ==
This can be puzzling at first because right clicking in the Form List does not pop up a 'New' option like most other lists in the GECK.  Instead what you do is drag and drop object from the [[Object Window]] to the list.  You can then select an object in the list and press the Delete key to remove it (this only removes it from the list, it does not delete the object from your mod).  The << and >> buttons at the bottom of the screen allow you to order the list however you want, which can be helpful when [[How to Keep Track of Your Records|using Form Lists to keep your mod organized]].

* If using a form list in a condition that runs continuously (such as on an Ability Game Effect), it may be useful to optimize the list, by sorting the most frequently check items to the top of the list.  If the list has 60 forms in it, and the forms usually checked for are at the bottom of the list, the game has to check every entry above those forms every time the condition runs.  In most cases, though, this effect will be minimal.
