topic overriding

Description: 

I think topic “running an errand” may hide standard “errand” topic making impossible to go on with http://www.uesp.net/wiki/Morrowind:Sharn_gra-Muzgob (link is external) without addtopic errand by console
possible fix: addtopic errand in the same greeting introducing the “running an errand” topic e.g.

addtopic "running an errand" ; safety
addtopic "errand" ; fix for main quest
Journal "EB_Express" 10
Choice "I'll deliver it for you." 1 "I can't help you." 2

[EDIT]on second though, maybe it would be bettr to addtopic “errand” from a global start script or to the vanilla quest greeting

Both are vanilla topics (the latter not even reused in TR), and she doesn’t seem to have that phrasing “running an” in her greeting,
Could it be something else in your load list? (with e.g. “little errand”)

Sorry, you are right, false

Sorry, you are right, false alarm, I did a search for [space]errand” string in *.es? files , then I did not realize inspecting TR_Data.esm in CS that the dialog line comes from Morrowind.esm .
I checked again and TR_Data triggered my search with the TR_TestTopicsScript3 content, not with dialog and that script is not normally used so it can’t be related to the problem [Note to self:  always convert .esm to .esp before checking for bugs in CS]
I think the problem may have been with Nehfaern Sanctuary mod having a "little errand" topic or even from standard Morrowind .esm if for any reason the “running an errand” dialog is triggered before the “errand” dialog. Probably something to fix/prevent in a Morrowind patch but not related to TR
