A buff dropdown box

Hello! To explain my suggestion better, let me explain the situation. A few of my players in my Hell's Rebels pathfinder campaign are having some issues with buffs on the pathfinder character sheet. We have a wizard, a bard, and other things that all provide many buffs in a single combat, including haste, inspire courage, inspire rage, heroism, and others. Some of these buffs can go on and off in a single round of combat. My suggestion is (specifically for pathfinder and the pathfinder character sheet) a buff dropdown box, similar to the initiative order. It would significantly streamline our game if we could just click a button to open my list of buffs and check mark which ones should be on and off. Normally, it might just be easy to remember, but some buffs significantly alter a character's numbers and it slows down the game to have to turn them on and off or mentally figure out what it changes in the moment.

I believe there is an API out there for something along those lines. but it would be nice for those of us who don't have access to APIs. I know I've had to toggle buffs on and off fairly frequently when running a Bloodrager. 
Character sheet specific questions should be posted in the Character Sheets & Compendium section. The Suggestions & Ideas section is meant for suggestions that benefit a majority of users, not just ones that use a specific sheet/game.

One API solution(pro perk); use  chatsetattr  to create buff toggles for the PF sheet.   example (I would recommend using the buff's rowid instead of entering a row number, but you get the idea...) !setattr --sel --repeating_buff2_$0_enable_toggle|[[1-@{selected|repeating_buff2_$0_enable_toggle}]]

Mostly I just stand off to the side and pretend I'm pretty. But if I'm reading this correctly,  This script is essentially trying to toggle the first buff in the buff listing on the character sheet.  If that is the case. I'm having trouble getting it working. At present it appears to do nothing, however I'm not getting any errors and it doesn't appear to be affecting any buffs as far as I can tell with my testing. Is it possible I'm missing something extremely obvious?

@Velze Are you seeing a confirmation from chatsetattr in the chat?  Do you have buff bonus types and stacking enabled? (settings|sheet configuration|buffs)  My macro uses the newer version of buffs.  Also, are you substituting the rowid(you can get the rowid from the repeating buff, it's a sub-menu)?  Rowid instead of row number is a better choice unless you need a "global" macro.

I've tried using the line ID and leaving it exactly as you created it. I'll get the errors if no row/buff exists but no confirmation in chat and no change on the sheet. Vexing edit: I do have buff bonus types and stacking enabled. Thanks again for your help Vince.
