Request: Mass add sheet function

The request is for a way to select a large number of tokens & initiate a process where you can create a sheet for each of them without having to do them one by one from scratch. for functionality, something like the attached image I think that the global tags box to apply tags to all the selected tokens is good simply from having to type things like "token pack whatever" or "[newgroup]" into every single token's tag box one by one if it's going to apply to al of them. The Back/Next buttons to jump to the previous/next page of selected tokens
Are you talking about in the art library? If so you can select multiple tokens and add or remove tags from all of them. Just click on a bunch of them and a dialog will pop up. I believe there is a limit to the number you can select at once but that should do what you're looking for in the art library. If you're talking about for monster character sheets, that's what the "default token" function is for. Create one token, set it up how you want, make it represent a character sheet that fits that token, and set it as your default token for that sheet. You can then drag and drop as many identical tokens for that character you want by dragging out of the journal. To make a lot of sheets, make your first one, duplicate it, and remove the default token and replace it with a new token for your new character. Tags are copied when you copy character sheets as well. If you're trying to just copy and paste a bunch of tokens from the art library and make character sheets for each token, I'd have to ask what your goal is since you'll still have to set up game rules for the tokens. Otherwise all you're doing is saving having to press the "duplicate" button a number of times equal to the number of tokens you already have set up (why?) and renaming the sheet. In what context are you trying to mass create sheets from tokens? Assuming you aren't talking about the art library. Thanks.

Take this example situation. Lets say you want to make use of the spiffy clickable tag doodad on the sheets page and/or create a bunch of generic monsters/NPCs with relevant tokes. You could go through the art assets and add tags to things one by one, but that's a PITA & those tags are still going to pull up tons of unrelated stuff found on the web/in your library... or you could drag all the tokens off onto a blank page that you feel are fitting and name it things like "townfolk, "Monsterous Humanoids", "monsters" so you can go back later to copy/paste out into wherever your players are as needed. Even if you started creating sheets at the very beginning instead, you still have to manually do that for each and every one of them one by one. While tags are copied with the duplicate sheet function yes, I have a few pages with a couple hundred tokens that result of pregame preps where I may be looking for (for example) "undead" "lizardman" or "ooze" & pull out several of each when I do because they look good enough to use at some future point in time to add some variety. As to duplicating character sheets.. that method is a PITA.: Find a reasonably close sheet (no big deal) double click it to open its summary click edit scrolldown click duplicate click cancel click the X click/select the next tile double click on copy of... click edit change the name remove any unneeded tags add any token specific tags remove the current icon click the use selected button click save click the X repeat over & over & over again until you decide the effort to use the tags instead of monolithic pages of themed tokens is just not worth it. Even if you say "well just don't do that" & someone decides it's a reasonable solution. Lets say you buy a token pack of ~20-30 new tokens... make a generic one & run through the above list ~19-29 more times each and every time you buy a token pack.
