Character Sheet - Simple Copying

Hey guys! Just looking at making my own game for some friends and I believe I've made a blunder! (its to see how I get on and see if this will help in deciding if we continue to use Roll20 - it's looking good :P) So I have made a few characters with the same skill tree shall I say, (Health, Stamina, its only up to 7 fields I made) now I have made that common for my first 7 characters and it will be a constant for every character I am building.  Its not as advanced as it would be for other games I've seen pre-made sheets for. Forgetting to do the most obvious and copy a previous token, to keep the same fields as before, I've made at least over 40 more characters and I haven't added the fields in for any of them. I've been working this since my birthday at the start of this month and I'd hate to go through all of that effort for every single one...to find there's a easier option or not. Is there any way I could copy and paste the fields with general ease? Or is that a subscription user's ability? I've spent over a hour looking with no avail >.<" Sorry if this is part of the subscription service - I'm very new to making games, i'm normally playing them!

Hi The Shack, if you open up your first and complete character and click to 'edit' it. At the bottom you should have the option to  duplicate that sheet which will put it to the bottom of your journal list as 'copy of...'. Do that the number of times required and then you can simply rename those copies one by one until you have all of the sheets you need set up with the attributes. Hope that helps!
It was a thing I was hoping to just copy and paste a default template into each one already made, as I've already attached the names and the faces to the actual characters. I was doing this process already. It's such a slow process.

I feel your pain, sorry I can't be of more help... for consolation i've been where you are now and it gets better i promise ;) With a  pro subscription and access to the API there are a number of scripts that would potentially allow you to import attributes to existing sheets otherwise you are looking at the grind of manual updates or deleting the 'empty' sheets and using the 'copy' sheet function to recreate them... i suppose it boils down to what is more of a hassle, adding the attributes or re-adding the names and portraits? Happy birthday for earlier this month by the way (well last month now, but you get the sentiment!)
So it can be done with a pro subscription? Hrmm... Interesting. Thanks for the birthday comment lol - It was not to get attention it was a mere starting point for for Roll20 game I am working on haha.
