This appears to be a former feature (9925b2a0845787fd997653d8507d2a72d42064df) that got lost along the way. Also shows the "can craft" section in the character entity info. Here's a screenshot of the mod with these changes applied.

Thanks for bringing this to my attention, this was unintentional. I'm surprised nobody noticed this issue because the bug was introduced a very long time ago!
