Function to Append an Monster Sheet with a Template

It would be good to have a function to Append an Monster Sheet with a Template for all those homebrew cases where an area or event creates a variant of existing monsters: e.g. Shadowy; Gribbly. If we could set up a template or NPC sheet with just the features / resistances / traits / actions etc we wanted, and then select which character sheets these to it would save a massive amount of time when trying to add richness to our games. So I could turn a Hobgoblin into a "Shadowy Hobgoblin" or "Gribbly Hobgoblin" for example, with the respective extra features. Surely virtually all the tech is already available in game to achieve this right? Here's hoping this is an easy win for Roll20.

A quick workaround for this is merely to copy the original monster sheet and then add all the appropriate characteristics to the new copy, thus having individual character sheets for "Hobgoblin", "Shadowy Hobgoblin", etc.  I do this all the time when I create monsters in tribal societies which have mooks, leaders, subleaders, subchieftains, chieftains, and shamans.  Most humanoids in Dungeons and Dragons are like this.

That's not a quick workaround... that's the problem statement! I have no desire to copy 30 entries manually to add the same traits when my party walks into somewhere that results in "shadowy" variants. That's several hours of work that should be a few clicks.
