Track multiple initiatives for one token

Suggestion: Expand the &{tracker} macro command (or create a new command) so that it can add multiple initiative turns for the same token, with different values, to the initiative tracker. Current Functionality: The tracker itself supports tokens with multiple turns, but there is currently no way to add (or even individually modify) two different turns for the same token via macros. Use Cases: Some systems, such as Legend of the Five Rings, 7th Sea first edition, and even some older versions of D&D allow characters to act (or at least take attacks) multiple times per round on different initiatives. Initiative in these systems currently cannot be automated using roll20's existing macros. Existing Workarounds: The initiative tracker can still be used manually, but adding multiple initiatives for every character by hand is extremely cumbersome, especially as the GM must manually add the turns for each creature. Alternatively, the GM can add multiple copies of each creature to the map, assigning a turn to each one, but this is prohibitively cumbersome for encounters with numerous characters. Thanks for reading, and I hope you'll give this suggestion your consideration.
While no good for people without a Pro account, for those with one it can be done using the AddCustomTurn API, i use it for 7th Sea.  I also use the API to add spell or condition count downs to the turn order to keep track of how long things are lasting, having a spell with a minute duration suddenly pop up with a 10 round count down on the turn order does help keep track of them easily.  Up dates to the turn order and what it can be used for would certainly be nice
That is quite good to know. I currently don't have a Pro account, so it doesn't really solve my personal issue, but I'm glad there's a solution out there that works for someone .
Yeah, I currently don't have budget available to get Pro. As such, I would appreciate such a feature being implemented. I've been currently trying to figure out a multi-initiative method. I did try using the decimals... but even with the being able to temporarily capture rolls, it is a bit tricky to get math working. (Even tried seeing if there was a way to dump roll results into attributes. Could then have some attributes to create my own initiative system, three slots to store it... and would figure out what to do with them after getting them there...) (Was trying to get it to display initiative as 21.7.10.4 or 21.071004. Wasn't getting either working, so decided to look into multi-initiative instead.) Side note : Just tried, and if you drag multiple copies of a token out from the same sheet, each will generate it's own initiative. Would be nice if I could at least select multiple tokens, and fire off the initiative macro and have it roll for all selected tokens. Still, floods the chat log with so many initiative rolls. Hahaha.
