Tokens in the Journal to the Map

Hello,  I've been creating both PC and NPC/Monster tokens in the campaign journal tab. I've spent an awfully long time getting the Attributes and Abilities just right, and entering in all the pertinent combat data into the GM-Only notes section. I've added a token image as the avatar as well. Is there a way to simply drag a token/avatar image from the Journal tab and place it directly to the map with all the stats in tact? Or even just drag the token/avatar to the map at all? Every time I try, it looks like it's going to work, I even see a little green (+) symbol show up next to the token as I'm about to place it. But nothing happens. The token doesn't show up and I have to go into my Library and find the token and assign it to the NPC/Monster in the Journal tab.  Thanks Jake

You can currently grab the image from a character sheet and drag it to the map but the newly created token will not have any stats already set up. Unfortunately, at this time we cannot set up a token in the character sheet itself.  - Gauss
Gauss, I can see that I can grab the image from the Character Sheet directly. It would great to be able to grab the icon from the Journal view, instead of having to open up the each particular CS and drag the icon.  Think of how great that would be on the fly, to simply navigate to the Journal tab, and without opening any Character Sheets, click and drag an icon over to the map. Then if you wanted to, you can use the context radial menu and assign the new icon to the appropriate CS to link up stats. I'm just looking for a way to not have to open the entire character sheet, but simply grabs it's thumbnail version of the icon, directly from the Journal tab.  Is that workable? Thanks,  Jake

Jakob, It is probably doable but I am not a developer. My job is to help people with their questions and to help them with how to use the system. :) - Gauss
