Allow players to edit the 'Bio & info' tab, without them being able to see the 'Character Sheet'

Edited 1605145324
I would like my players to be able to edit the bio section for the enemies in my campaign, so that they might make shared notes on them as they learn more information. I'd rather this than a seperate handout just to keep the number of journal entries smaller. However, I don't want them to be able to see the character sheet, or have token control, for (I think) obvious reasons. Is there a way to do this (API scripts included)? Thanks

I don't know of a way.  Like you are asking, there MIGHT be a way with the API.  Haven't seen an API doing that on the Bio Tab so I'm not sure. There IS an existing API Script that lets Players add a new line of Notes to an existing Handout .  This implies there is a chance of your idea.

Definitely possible, the bio section is available to the API, and AFAIK if you don't put a playerIsGM() check in there, the API doesn't care about player permissions, it just does what the script says when it's triggered. Something might already exist that you can use, but it will probably need the GM checks stripped out of the "add to" and read functions. Any delete or clear functions you'd probably want to keep gated though. The Aaron probably has something lying around that could do this, or could write it with one hand while waiting for a coffee.
