Is there any way to add a converted FHQ building to the production building tabs? (F1, F2, F3... etc)

Potentially yes, we had something similar where a type of FHQ (buildable Airborne HQ) was allocated to the F2 slow, if you pressed F2 twice it would alternate between them.
I'll see if Olhausen can shed some light on this, though it could've been a happy accident!

The types from ebps/types_ext are linked to the tabs in army/production_buildings. (HQ, barracks, motorpool_light, motorpool_heavy etc.)

Types can only be allocated statically. To achieve what you want with convertable ambient buildings, you have to use one of the following workarounds (with imperfect results):
1. Add the desired type to the ambient building directly
The downsides of this option are:
- The building will collide with F1-F3 selection when anybody garrisons it, even if it's not a converted HQ (just like the building near the eatern VP at red-ball express)
- You have to pre-select one selection type for each building (I'm assuming you want different kinds of forward HQ)
2. Make the conversion spawn an invisible HQ building on top of your HQ building (spawn item)
The downside is that you won't be able to select the HQ in any way other than the F1-F3 interface. You might also have to worry about trained squads getting stuck in the building
I have done something like that to allow forward assemblies to upgrade to both medics and repairstations (look for the repair station implementation):

You have a great idea that improves the QoL aspects of the game? Please, drop your idea here:

There was a bug, when you entered to biggest house at Red Ball Express, it showed like T1 in your production buildings. You could easily select it by clicking F1.

I have a related question.
When a building is converted to a forward Hq; Is the "engineer_to_spawn" entity dictated by the options laid out in the repair_station_ext area of the original buildings ebps?
If so is there an easy way to work around this? I don't want to clone every ambient building and replace the engineer type in every single buildings ebps/repair_station_ext.

You could try a spawn_entity with your desired repair_station. If I look at other things of the sort just make it invisible in the entity_blueprint. A good entity for reference is the ebps\races\british\buildings\defensive_structures\brit_forward_hq_repair_mp
Also, do not activate repair_station the ability.

I did consider having an upgrade on the forward hq that spawned an invisible entity with either medics or sappers depending on the upgrade choice. Basically like how the forward assembly works as you exampled.
I was worried on forward hq's as there's so many different sizes of ambient buildings that this wouldn't work well as it may spawn the engineers/medics inside the .....host structure if the blueprint I used was too small, or indeed the opposite and spawn too far away if it was too big.
Is it smart enough to always use the clipping edge if I use a really small and invisible animator blueprint?

Willy Pete: @Rosbone Ahh I missed that memo. I still think its a bad decision though. Adds frustration for players and isnt gonna make them that much money

Rosbone: But I agree, the cost to get a full decent Coh game pushing $115 US is not the best idea. Especially when it needs so much more work for casuals.

Rosbone: To be fair, it was a thank you to early fans right? They said it was not free for long and it would become a pay DLC at some point.

Rosbone: Congrats to Relic. Looks like Coh3 has finally usurped Coh2 s the popular Coh. You smell terrific.
