Referencing a repeating section within another repeating section

I have a repeating section named "repeating_trait". I'd like to show a checkbox for each trait inside another repeating section. Since it is impossible to reference a repeating section from within a different repeating section I thought I'd generate the names to blank fields. For example "trait_0" is set to "Eldritch Invocations". I then try to reference "trait_0" within my other repeating section "repeating_attack" via the following:

<span name="attr_trait_0"></span>

"trait_0" is successfully set and I can see it in the Attributes & Abilities tab. If I reference "trait_0" as above outside of the repeating section it works, but accessing it within "repeating_attack" doesn't seem to work as the span is blank even after closing and opening the sheet.



Any ideas?

Have you tried using sheet workers to synchronize the values appropriately?

Synchonize to each repeating section? A user could have 30 traits. I'm not looking to create 30x fields for every attack, spell, etc where I plan to implement this feature.

The issue is how roll20 references fields. Whenever a field is referenced from within a repeating section it's reference is localized. For example "trait_0" becomes "repeating_action_ID_trait_0".
I'm looking for a way to avoid this and reference the values from outside the repeating section.
