Looking for an initiative modifier field API for the 5e character sheets

I'm looking to implement the Speed Factor Variant Initiative rule for my next campaign I plan to DM. What I'm looking for is a relatively simple thing which would be an initiative modifier field on the front page of the 5e character sheet, which you could tick up or down, depending on what action you plan to take before rolling initiative. A field like the Global AC, attack, etc. modifier fields would be great for this purpose, with the only difference being that ticking the value up or down could be done without clicking on the cogwheel to change it first. If this same thing could also be implemented for NPC character sheets, that would be awesome. I found this thread (<a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1933182/script-speed-factor-initiative-for-d-and-d-5e" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1933182/script-speed-factor-initiative-for-d-and-d-5e</a>) for the same purpose, but it seems very complicated and streamlined. I would like something more simple like what I suggested. If this API could be made I would appreciate it a lot :)
You could probably use the&nbsp; Group Initiative &nbsp;script to implement something like this? Otherwise, I'd look to the script you linked to as it seems to be the only script out there specifically for it.

I would assume what I'm looking for should be easy enough to make.

So, it sounds like you want to add a field to the Character Sheet?&nbsp; That's not actually possible for the API, though it can add an attribute on the Attributes and Abilities tab.&nbsp; You'd need to add it to the character sheet source, which isn't shared for the 5e sheet.&nbsp;&nbsp; I would suggest handling this like people handle Greyhawk Initiative:&nbsp;<a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5243461/5e-alternate-initiative-macro/?pageforid=5312873#post-5312873" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5243461/5e-alternate-initiative-macro/?pageforid=5312873#post-5312873</a>
