If you are trying to make it an item you have to create or edit a Model Variation GDA (In your case longsword_variation.gda"). Basically make a copy of "longsword_variation.gda" and rename it to "longsword_variation_("your text here").gda" Open it with GDApp or another GDA editor. Delete all rows except the first one (0-invalid). Add a new row and use This Page to fill in the blanks. Place the new .gda in the override folder.

*I thought there was a tutorial on the bioware social site but I cant seem to find it.
