Allow Players to Add Notes to User Profiles

Please can Roll20 allow us to privately and individually store short notes on a user's profile? It would be helpful to be able to save a few (private) text details - like we can on a user's profile in Discord. A private text field could be added to each user profile; just for saving short notes for our own use. E.g. Notes like "Likes RP over combat. Good team-player. Can help with xxx. Cannot play on week-nights. Phobia : avoid body-horror!"  I think this would help DMs, like myself, organise games more quickly and efficiently and encourage players towards better behaviour.
I'll buy that for a dollar! +1
Well, if this doesn't gain more traction then one hypothesis is that players are moving to Discord and storing relevant details there... The problem is that many people don't use the same usernames and it's easy to lose the correlation between the two places. We need 4 more votes!
I, and I suspect many others, don't use either Roll20 or Discord for that information; I just have a text file on my local machine where I keep those types of notes. That's a lot easier for me to use than navigating through individual user user profiles. As for players adding that type of information to their own profiles, I would think that's what the Bio section is for.

That's fair enough... But not everyone is that organised and it's yet another file to manage, offline. Whereas a note next to a players name is just convenient for some of us. :-) Just 2 more votes need for traction, I think?
Good suggestion. I currently use the "Recent Game Discussion" posts of a dummy campaign for these types of notes.

Jim R: good suggestion - clever thinking! I'd still need to scroll through a text file to find the data for a specific user... But I like it! Gold: yes, well, baby steps... The first hurdle has passed. Maybe others will add over time or the DevTeam, can still choose to implement it because it's a good idea... They strive for excellence, right? :-)
