🐞 Removing Traits does not seem to work

Expected Behavior

It should be possible to remove Traits, e.g., if we have:

statblock: true
name: umano_comune
extends: creatura
creatura: Umano Comune
ac: 2
hit_dice: 6+1d3
hp: 8
mana: 0
vestiti: "[[Abiti Normali]]"
abilita_razza:
  - name: "[[Lingua delle Lande]]"
  - name: "[[Capacita di Guarigione|Capacità di Guarigione]]"
  - name: TEST
    desc: test

And:

statblock: true
name: umano_schiavo_gladiatore
monster: umano_comune
creatura: Umano Schiavo-Gladiatore
abilita_razza-:
  - name: TEST
abilita_razza+:
  - name: TEST2
    desc: test2

The latter should have, in "abilita_razza": "[[Lingua delle Lande]]", "[[Capacita di Guarigione|Capacità di Guarigione]]" and TEST2

Current behaviour

After 12df383, Traits have improved a lot! In fact, now overriding and adding Traits works fine (for me). What still doesn't work is removing them :-)

In fact, sticking to the example above, "abilita_razza" still has the "TEST"

Reproduction

Just create a statblock that inherits some Traits (say, "A") from another one (e.g., using monster:) and then try to remove any with A-:.

I think you have a mistake in your YAML, I came across this issue when wrestling with this feature myself, albeit with a DND5e stat block.

These lines:

extends: creatura
creatura: Umano Comune

Should be

extends: Umano Comune

My working example (Obsidian 1.7.4 / Fantasy Stat Blocks 4.7.8) is this:

extends: Deep Gnome (Svirfneblin)
name: Abbot Kavoda
ac: 12
traits-:
  - name: Innate Spellcasting
traits+:
  - name: Innate Spellcasting.
    desc: |
      The gnome’s innate spellcasting ability is Intelligence (spell save DC 11). It can innately cast the following spells, requiring no material components:
      At will: nondetection (self only)
      1/day each: blindness/deafness, blur, disguise self
      3/day each: meld into stone
