Official support for repeating sections in character sheets

Recently I added the ability to show/hide attributes using checkboxes within a repeating item. Very cool feature that allows the player to decide what output they want to see from a particular sheet roll. Works great, but only within the repeating item. Apparently, auto-calculated attributes within a repeating item cannot be referenced from outside the repeating item. Ouch. Having access to a repeating item's auto-calculated attributes would be a huge advancement for sheet authors. Please give repeating items some love.

I agree with Vince's recent post about the access to repeating item's auto-calculated attributes. That would be a boon to sheet authors, and although I am not an acknowledged sheet author, I have been helping my friend develop an encompassing White Wolf character sheet and we have been using the show/hide attribute to great effect. He has even coded in places where the actual Headings are hidden checkboxes, allowing us to see all or some of the tabs on the sheet at our discretion. Our goal, which is nearly achieved, is to have all the various White Wolf character sheets we use available to us...albeit on one sheet. We have tabs that allow us to access the various types of characters; Werewolf, Vampire, Hunter, Fera, etc....and only the one in use is seen and used. That being said, my original post still stands. It is sorely needed for information organization. As an example, when I open up my Gifts, Rituals, Disciplines, Edges, or other such tabs on the sheet, I can only add to the bottom of the list with newly learned abilities...so my entries eventually end up completely unorganized. I would like to be able to move the entries up or down in the list according to their category/level in order to keep the sense of what my characters can do. Players will be able to remember and use their abilities better if they can organize them. And while I can organized their sheet originally according to what they know initially, I would like to keep the information organized when I add new content. Being able to add more Gifts etc. in the proper order on the tab would definitely help all players to learn and memorize the content, especially new players.

RE: The ability to move entries using the Mod button is the functionality I am asking for...

Something that didn't present as much of an issue until I started using a tablet extensively for character sheets is reordering item in a repeating section. I often reorder equipment and loot to keep it sectioned and organized to be more findable. Currently this is cut/paste or retype, and on the web it's slightly annoying, but on a tablet is untenable. If equipment/spells/class actions/etc with more like draggable items (easy to create/destroy as well) like character sheets and handouts in virt tabletop sidebar, I'd be thrilled. Shareable items between character sheets would be awesome as well.

I heartily support this. I filled out one of my players spellbooks for 5e but I cant get him to use it as he doesnt like calling up the spells from the character sheet (he only has one monitor and its small). Id like to be able to call up spells from his spellbook and cast them from his shortcut bar. (Ive figured out generic macros for monster abilities and attacks referenced from the pc and npc 5e sheets, but spells are still a snag.)

+1 Same as David here. Repeating sheet macros would be amazing.

At a minimum we'd like the sheet creators to be able to set defaults for new rows. I am always telling my players they have to fill in the defaults, I even made a video and posted it to youtube, of how to fill in the row, and they can't remember.

+1 I spent a couple days trying to set up a roll query for something like @{selected|repeating_weapon_?{Weapon ID}_attack} before I got pointed to the order of operations. Anything to help out the repeating sections would be loved by my players and myself.

+1 please fix repeating spell issues

Just some thoughts on what would be considered improvements to a great function; Allow default values for repeating item attributes to be set at the time the repeating item is created. Allow drag/drop to the macro quickbar and/or using repeating item sheet rolls by name for token/ability macros. Allow access to repeating item attributes that are auto-calculated so you do not have to included the entire formula in your macro. Allow rearranging the order of repeating items.

+1 please fix the repeating section so it can be called from a macro

+1, would be awesome so we could have a quick list of spells in 5e

Robert S. said: +1 please fix the repeating section so it can be called from a macro I believe this is what I'm wanting to do: be able to drag 5th edition character sheet spell casting macros to the desktop, as i can with weapon attacks. Thank you!

+1 - much needed in order to sort repeatable lists.

+1 We deserve it ! Haha !

+1 Hope it happens someday

+1 to give a tiny bit of support to the awesome sheet author Vince (was mentioned in <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1915585/pathfinder-sheet-thread-4-life-after-sam#post-2205197" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1915585/pathfinder-sheet-thread-4-life-after-sam#post-2205197</a> )

+1 times infinity for this support!

+1 Please make it so i can call from repeatable weapon macros its horriable to have to make super huge macros that include the math in them.

+1 I edited the original repeating attack macros, but it seems that if I want to drag the pre-set button to the desktop, I cannot change it. Hope it possible to add the repeating sections into my own macros so I don't need to open the character sheet to roll the dice if I change the original macros.

+1 This would be great for my players.

+1 Being able to call spells without having a character sheet open would be excellent! My players who use laptops or single monitors feel claustrophobic having to have both the map and their character sheets open.

+1....please

+1 I've only been taking advantage of the macros for only a few weeks now (I'm now the macro guy of our group), and being able to call spells directly from the sheet as a macro would be fantastic.&nbsp; It is such an endeavour create macros from scratch for spells.

+1 &nbsp;We need this please!

+1 I can't believe this isn't already a feature. Repeatable sections are so much less useful without some way of calling the roll without having to open the sheet.

I would also like to voice support for Vince's list of requested&nbsp;capabilities, but would also like to add another suggestion. I would like to see indirect access be enabled, especially for repeating sections. Let me give an example: &lt;span&gt;&lt;input title="@{index} Which repeating foo do you want?" name="attr_index" type="number" value="0" /&gt;index&lt;/span&gt; &lt;input&nbsp;name="attr_foo-display" type="number" value="@{repeating_items _@{index} _foo}" disabled/&gt;Foo &lt;input&nbsp;name="attr_foo2-display" type="number" value="@{repeating_items_@{index}_foo2}" disabled/&gt;Foo2 That way, if the user sets attr_index to 0, then @{repeating_items_0_foo} and @{repeating_items_0_foo2} appear, but if the user sets attr_index to 1, then @{repeating_items_1_foo} and @{repeating_items_1_foo2} display instead. Indirect access like that would greatly improve the accessibility of repeating sections. It would also allow some other very nice tricks. &nbsp;

Was this addressed in the most recent blog post?

I think "some". &nbsp;I hope that this suggestion doesn't get marked as completed unless a majority of the issues have been resolved. &nbsp;That said, the update is promising.
