Character sheet for containers

So I don't know why anyone hasn't thought of this: character sheets for containers such as bags if holding. The only trackable stat will be its weight limit but you can click and drag items into it and can have a notes page. 

I came up with this because my players use a handout they can edit to keep track of what's in containers like bags of holding and portable holes, or even there backpacks sometimes. So having a decated sheet for bags that players can edit on the fly so they can easily keep track of the money they have in the bag, what's in it and how much is in it, but adding it all up is tricky sometimes and having a sheet like that would save us all a little time on inventory management so we can focus on the game.

While I'd rather have containers on the character sheet, this is something that could be easy to do in the interim.

I do this today by using a normal character sheet (5E OGL in my game) and just ignoring all of the fields other than the equipment list and Strength.  If you set Strength to 100, and set Encumbrance to Variant it will calculate the weight limit to report "Encumbered" at 501 lbs and not show any warnings at lower weights (you could to it other ways).

I use the characteristics and features and traits fields to provide notes on the limits of the bag.

You can do similar for other non-carried storage, like chests or saddlebags.

Given that we already have a bunch of subtypes of the 5E sheet, making one for Container shouldn't be too hard. But that wouldn't be portable to other game systems.

well I rather have a whole sheet to the container as I have several games where players will share a bag of holding or portable hole and having a entire sheet with way more room for notes and tagging what belongs to witch player is way more helpful that doing it with a very small boxes provided on the default sheet
