Advice (Pathbuilder) Adding low-light/darkvision to a custom heritage

I have tried literally everything and cannot for the life of me figure out how I'm suppose to add this. I'm making a custom heritage to go with a game setting I have in mind, but I don't see anywhere the option to simply add Low-Light Vision or Darkvision as a feat unless it's a special trait normally connected with another heritage or even a class. Am I missing something?

Do you really need to add to a heritage? I'd guess by new I'd just take an item that gives it, take down the invested trait and make it cost zero?

IIRC, you add in Low-Light Vision, or Darkvision under the "Special Abilities" section of the Custom Ancestry section. I don't know how exactly to format it to make it show up, but again, IIRC... that's how.

<b>Low-Light Vision</b> You can see in dim light as though it were bright light, and you ignore the concealed condition due to dim light.

It's a versatile heritage rather than an ancestry, so there's no special abilities section. Which is weird given there's more than a few versatile heritages that also add low-light and darkvision.

"Create Custom Specials", add it there, then add the special to the custom heritage. Worked for me.

Name: Low-Light Vision

Description: You can see in dim light as though it were bright light, and you ignore the concealed condition due to dim light.
