Add an option to make token status markers appear in the turn tracker

Score + 18
If this option does not already exist somewhere, I think it would make it easier to keep track of status effects in encounters with many characters. In combats with more than ten or twenty participants, it would serve as a nice reminder to see the status effects appear on the turn tracker when they are marked on a token. If it could be made to be adjustable so that it is visible only to the GM, the players, or so that only certain tokens' status markers are visible to certain players, that would be even better.
Look at Adding a Custom Item in the Documentation. <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Turn_Tracker" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Turn_Tracker</a> "You can also add character/creatures/objects to the turn order that aren't already associated with an existing token by using the "Add Custom Item" field. Just fill out the name of the item and click the Add button to include it in the tracker. Optionally you can add a Round Calculation to custom items. These calculations are completed every time the custom item reaches the top of the Turn Tracker. This is particularly useful for setting up a "Round Count" object that increases by one every rotation, or setting depreciating buffs that decrease every round. For example, entering "+1" will increase the value at the start of every turn, while "-1" will decrease the value by 1 at the start of every turn (useful for tracking things like buffs or other temporary conditions). Note that this only works when there are more than one items on the t Turn Tracker . You can even reference these values the same way you would Attributes by using the syntax: @{tracker|Item Name} . This can be used to simulate systems that use an Escalation Die mechanic or fetch the value of a token's turn order."
That's all true, but I meant that if a token that is being tracked already in the turn order has its status affected, by adding an icon to the token on the map, it would be nice if an indicator of that also appeared next to the token in the turn tracker, to tell at a glance who has been affected, useful in situations with many tokens in small spaces, which I seem to regularly run into.
