True retroactive AWC

Description
Here's how AWC work, when you recruit a new soldier with AWC already built, the game rolls a hidden ability with a specific rank requirements for that soldier; or when you built AWC, it rolls for all your existing soldiers (As of May 12 patch, all existing soldiers are no longer able to roll an ability on their current rank without this mod); Then this part starts to cause problems, those hidden abilities only get revealed when your soldier lands on EXACTLY the required rank of the hidden ability (this is not the rank of when you get the ability for the original class, just a random number generated by AWC), so if the required rank is lower than the soldier's current rank, tough luck, the soldier has lost his opportunity to get a bonus perk FOREVER, unless you rebuild AWC then it rerolls everyone's perk but it's not ideal either (you need to keep rerolling and building takes time), this mod change the requirement to be exactly on the rank to higher or equal to the required rank, so even if AWC rolls a lower number than the rank, you still get the perk.

To claim the hidden perk, visit the soldier abilities screen from your armory.

Even with this mod, AWC never gives me the abilities. Most recent game, 52 promotions and nothing. Stupid fucking piece of shit.

wotc completely changed how the extra perks work so this does not work with it.

Hey quick question, is this WoTC compatible?

Update: You don't need to promote a soldier to get a retroactive AWC perk, you just need to go to soldier abilities and it will show up immediately.

For those still confused: This mod lets you gain "lost" AWC perks when a soldier is promoted. It retains the limit of one per unit and is still unlocked at the perk level or higher.

Example: I had a grenadier Captain in a vanilla game with post-mission "assign promotion" status. I installed this mod. I built an AWC. When I opened his menu to promote him to Major, he got a Corporal AWC perk. This AWC perk would have been "lost" in the base game because I installed the AWC after he passed Corporal.

Works as intended with existing save games. Would recommend.

Tried this mod in old save, then in a new one.
It did not work for me.
Any workaround or is the mod outdated?

Tried this out on an ongoing save file. Worked like a charm, no complaints.
