Can a journal entry reference another journal entry??

Is it possible for an attribute in a journal entry to reference another journal entry? I have a druid in my campaign who has animal forms that I would like to have reference his main journal entry instead of me having to enter changes every time he gains a level. Is there a code such as @{Selected|WisMod} or something that I can input as the attribute that would reference the "main" journal entry stat? Thanks!

Too bad a script (let's call it CharMod, or CharDup?) couldn't pull various attributes from one sheet and enter them on another... :-)

Um... Actully you CAN do this. I do this very thing with my familiar for figuring some of her information. You were on the right train of thought with @{SELECTED|Wismod} , simply replace SELECTED with the name on the druid's main charactersheet, and it will work out for you. Just remember this has to be used as the value for the attribute, not as the name of a new attribute.
Thank you so much Chell!!! I appreciate the help from everyone!

Interesting. I tried that and got errors. Cool if it works though!

I've been using it for the past 2 months without issue... However, don't attempt to link an auto-calc field between charactersheets... that does creates problems... only link the individual fields used for the calculation
It worked for me.

It would be interesting to see how that is set up on a sheet. Do you have to have an attribute field, where you enter the other sheet's attribute as it's value and then refrence that attribute with another?
Vince, its pretty easy. Lets say your first character is named Mighty Joe. His strength is 12 (he's not so mighty, but he has high hopes). Mighty Joe has the power to turn into a bucket of ice like that one character from the Wonder Twins many years ago. Somehow, in this form, he maintains his strength from his normal form so in his attribute for strength, you would enter @{Mighty Joe|Strength}. This seems to work very well for me. "High Five" to Chell for the original instruction!

It really is that simple... CharacterSheet1 attribute = whatever CharacterSheet2 attribute = @{CharacterSheet1|attribute} so like Barry's example, if you wanted to used the strength from CharacterSheet1 on CharacterSheet2 you'd just put @{CharacterSheet1|Strength} as the value for @{Strength} on CharacterSheet2. If Strength is an autocalc field however, then this doesn't work as well...

Cool trick. Too bad about the auto-calc attributes, but it makes sense. Thanks
It might be posible to get support for it added to autocalc fields though...
