Fill character sheet after dropdown choice

Hey folks, I want to fill the whole character sheet after the user has chosen an item of a dropdown and clicked a button. This is used for fast npc creation. What would be the best way to add this to a character sheet? My current plan is to add a data object for each NPC, store them in a list and fetch the data when the button is clicked. Anyone got any better ideas? Thanks for the discussion :)

It sounds like your approach is the best approach. Just match the data to the actual attribute naes and run a single setAttrs. I've used the method on a much smaller scale (not a full character) but its definitely feasible to do it that way.

+1 I have become very fond of this approach, though different use cases, and recommend storing the data flat so the formatting is the same for your setAttrs() call. Even store all the data in a single JSON separated by NPC type/named, and just grab that chunck.

But if you have any repeated sections, it'll be a bit trickier.

Yeah, I have to sets of repeating sections. So I have to handle it via code anyway
