Add Bio To Individual Token

Edited 1568136712
I'm running a wargame where the individual tokens represent military units or generals and we want to add a "Bio" field instead of just the GM Notes field to the token so we can notate things like unit name, XP, and traits & skills. Can this be done & if so, how?

Is there a token bubble you are not using? You can put as much data as you want in one.
No, I'm using 3 of them right now (1 for manpower, 1 for unit grade & one for Confidence Level).

Are you using the max field of each?
Probably not even close. For example, the manpower bubble is set at 250 and degrades from there. The grade bubble is set at GR (Green). The Confidence level bubble is set at CO and can move from CO to EU (Euphoric) all the way down to RT (Routing).

All I really want to do is add a text field to the "character token" where players can make notes to each of their units to notate such things as XP earned in battle, special unit qualities, etc. to the character sheet for the specific unit. If I have to go back and add those notations to individual units that's okay. I just need to add the Bio section to the character "sheet" itself.

I think Aaron meant are you putting any values in the max field. There are six areas you can easily write to as a player. (Seven if you count the nameplate.) There are scripts that can read from and write to the GM notes field. But that's getting a little involved.
Ah, okay. Yeah, I'm not looking to read or write to the GM field. That kind of defeats the purpose of letting the players add XP and notes to their unit "characters". It's just a player accessible text field I'm trying to add to a token. The "character" sheet doesn't have one the way it was built, but there doesn't seem to be a way to add a Bio field to the sheet generally or individually. There are several hundred individual units on the field and I only need to add the field to a few.
