How to request and/or participate to a new feature on an official character sheet ?

Hello, I did ask the subject about Ship/Vehicles to be included either as another Character sheet available for the Table (D&amp;D 5e) or another tab implemented in a character sheet like NPC in the dev forum. I was thinking, maybe i could request for that feature or try and develop it by myself. But i ll be honest, i'm a washed up old guy and it'll take me ages to modify the sheet with elegant and efficient coding as many of you guys do ;) So, is that something to be considered ? Anybody would like to help me out with this ? The rules are described in&nbsp; <a href="http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/unearthed-arcana/survey-ships-and-sea" rel="nofollow">http://dnd.wizards.com/articles/unearthed-arcana/survey-ships-and-sea</a> But it could be declined for airships and other vehicles. I'm currently using the regular character sheet with obviously a lot of cases out of place and useless stats. But there's a lot in common, like cargo is inventory, bio works for a ship as well, the ship can be magical and there's canon/ballista/catapults in weapons. I would love to have some crew roster, Crew quality and other little things namely added, tho again i'm using some custom ressources to do so. All in all, it can works for me, but it gets really confusing for my players if i have to let them deal with it so i can deal with my own ships :p I'm pretty sure i could find some examples in Starfinder or Starwars 5e but what would be the more adequate way to do it ? Thanks :)

There's a sheet request thread, you can find in the sticky at the top of the character sheets forum. If you want to ask for a feature to an existing character sheet, there's no guaranteed way of contacting the sheet's maintainer (which are all volunteers and might have moved on, or have other things in their lives to deal with). But there are three ways to try to contact them: Look to see if they have a thread in the Character Sheet forum for the specific sheet, and ask in that thread. If they don't, create a thead titled with the name of the character sheet, and ask for help. Raise an issue on the github for the character sheets, maybe the sheet maintainer will see it. Look in the sheet's json file (also on github) and see if there are contact details for the maintainer. They may have a roll20 userid, or email address, etc. None of these methods are guaranteed to work.
Alrighty, thanks for the answer, i've digged into the code, will try to figure a way to do it myself but still ask around :)

Greetings Haniki, I moved your idea to the Suggestions &amp; Ideas forum to give other users a chance to upvote it. This is the best place for feature requests for "by Roll20" sheets. :) As a crew member on an airship myself in a D&amp;D 5e game, it sounds like an excellent idea.&nbsp; Thanks, Cassie
