Allow players more control over the tokens linked to character sheets they own.

Two suggested features in one here. One is Allowing players to set a Default Token to their character sheet . This is lacking from roll20 at the moment, resulting in GMs needing to do it manually every time the players attributes change, or more realistically, players needing to manually needing to change their bars every time a new map is entered. Allowing players to choose a default token makes gameplay smoother and less of a hassle for the GM.   There is a workaround for this, which is related to my second suggestion. By having the GM link the bars to an attribute and then saving the default token, the problem of inaccurate bars is avoided. However, this bar-tagging feature is locked to GMs only, meaning that a GM has to go through this for every character. Not terrible, but if Roll20 were to allow players to link bars to character sheet attributes, GM's wouldn't have to worry about player tokens at all.  Thank you for taking the time to read this.

There is a potential workaround for this that I have been using. It requires the DM to set it up the first time, but it then works every time after that. Step 1: You need to make a token of said character represent a character in the Journal tab that is for that character (see image below: parts circled in red) Step 2:  You need to have 3 attributes named for what they represent set in the "attributes & abilities" tab in the journal page, I used HP, AC, and a Misc Attribute for this example. The attributes can be renamed any time after step 3 and it will still work without needing to redo step 3. (See image below: parts circled in black on the left side) Note: I put a "1" before each of the attributes that way there wasn't an error floating in from the character-sheet tab that uses the same names. Step 3: On the dropdown in the DM's token editor, set them to the attributes you set in the journal page.  (See image below: parts circled in black on the right side) Step 4:  Insert whatever the correct numbers would be, and click save changes on the token. Step 5: Set the default token in the journal page editor to the selected token by selecting the token, and clicking on the default token area. (See image below: parts circled in green) Step 6:  When entering a new map, drag and drop the journal page from the journal column to the screen where you wish the token to land. This will drop the saved token onto the field, with stats equal to every other token that is dropped in this fashion, constantly updating itself to the journal. The tokens will always keep the same stats, across all maps. Status Icons will not be universal like the bars are, unfortunately. Hope this helps!
