Some hindrances will have options to type in some text to specify to what the hindrance pertains to (such as, what your character has a Phobia of, etc), and it also may have a checkbox to whether it's a Major or a Minor hindrance (this is mainly in SWADE since we now have an option to reduce or remove a hindrance entirely now).
