Track Changes like XP

It would be great if certain values on a character sheet could be tracked over time with a history log. For example Experience Points, it would be great to have a way to add "200 XP" and then it tracks that on "DD/MM/YY" XP was increased by 200XP. This provides a "story" of the XP that was gained over time. This could also be added for other things, like "currency". When spending money, you can track when you gained currency or spent. This can help with to trigger your memory when coming back to a campaign and have a history of what you recently spent money on.

While it isn't the full system you desire, if you type out these things in chat, and turn on the time stamp, it might suffice for the time being. Time stamps are turned on in the settings tab. For my campaigns I have a macro that is basically /desc ?{experience points earned} experience points earned so then I can open the chat history and ctrl-f 'experience' and it will flag each one.

That would be really cool. It would be great to do this somewhat automatically, with math tallying the latest total XP, and automatic date-timestamp on new entries. I already have my Players do this manually, typing it on the EDIT BIO tab of their Character. (The character's Journal tab). Let me copy-paste 2 different examples of styles/formats used by my Players. The first is a Table in Roll20, with new lines added at the top each session. The second is a text-chart (no table), and goes chronologically down the page. Both methods keep-up with the latest Total number, and the amount of XP awarded for the increase per-session. We also write the date, and some descriptive notes each time.
