Previous mod I was working with, the linked patrol xMarkerHeadings had patrol tabs and I didnt do anything
special to get those tabs that I know of, perhaps just the act of linking or associating a Patrol Pack enabled it.

Messing around with a different mod and same setup, linked xMarkerHeadings with a Patrol Package and for
life of me, I cant seem to get that patrol tab to pop up.

Anyone familiar with the mechanics of xMarkerHeading acquiring that patrol tab ?

JUST maybe, to head off any nay sayers, I have read that only Idle Markers had patrol tabs, that is incorrect.

I worked for 5 weeks on a mod and its XMarkerHeading had patrol tabs ...now I cant get em back they
were useful.

All of those marker types should have a patrol tab automatically no matter what. Did you try deleting and replacing the XMarkerHeading?
