Player controllable "token_action" option for character sheets

Current Situation Character sheet authors have the option of adding the "token_action" class to a roll button when designing a sheet. This has the effect of automatically, and without user intervention, make this roll button appear as an option on the token action bar. Players are unable to toggle this behaviour for themselves as it is embedded into the sheet itself. They also have no option to change the display name of the token action. It is not possible to use this featire with roll buttons that are within character sheet repeating sections The Proposal Provide a feature that allows players to choose a roll button from a character sheet and add it as a token action. This feature should also allow them to change the display name (on their token action bar) of the button but should not allow them to edit the roll button macro itself. Ideally, this should also be possible if the roll button is within a repeating section too. By giving players control over which roll buttons they choose to setup as token actions they can choose the rolls that are most relevant to them instead of having these decisions forced on them by the sheet author. This also means that, for the most frequently used sheet features/rolls, there should be significantly less need for players to open their sheet therefore improving the user experience and in many cases reducing the need for a "second screen" type experience to view character sheets The End Goal Players should have some mechanism for choosing to toggle whether a roll button on a character sheet is displayed for them as a token action, as well as being able to set their own display name for it.

This is a well written suggestion, and should be used as an example for other suggestion writers!
Would be a great feature. Also, I know its been mentioned, but if some of the formula could come out of the hover over so it would be easier to understand what was rolled.
We aren't going to be able to do this with the token actions bar, but we are going to be able to do it with the macro bar.
good enough for me.

Superb!
This suggestion is now completed. You can now drag-and-drop roll buttons from a Character Sheet onto your Macro Quick Bar. If you feel like a suggestion you made in the comments wasn't done or you want this feature expanded upon, please start a new suggestion thread that outlines your requested additional improvements. This thread will now be closed, and all votes for it will automatically be refunded so they can be re-spent. The score will remain the same as it was for posterity.
