Thanks for the reply. That does make sense, however initially the first ref I created was the Actor, then placed the will inside the actor. It didn't work that way so I deleted the actor, but then realised that I needed it again. The quest is at stage 10 while I'm testing it, and there are no pre-requisites to start the quest. Like mentioned, I made a "test" which was a small quest that had the same journal/note system, and it worked correctly. Edit: I tried re-arranging the aliases in the correct order, and it looks like it's returned NULL for some of them? New return from console: http://i.prntscr.com/1jdHh1ZMTVSGEQ6miR0FkA.png It looks like one reference was correctly placed, so I'll play around and see what happens :p
