Nothing Fancy

I am returned to roll20 after 2+ years and am not using  a customizable character sheet and want some simple changes to the original template if possible. If you click on a created character you see "bio and info" and "abilities and attributes" tabs. I would like to know how to have a "bio and info" page that can be edited directly by the player, AND in "abilities and attributes" I would like the right column "attributes"  to mimic the left side "abilities". So what you would have is an add button on both sides that simply allows you to name your ability or attribute and put in a score for each, ability on the left and attributes on the right. Is this possible?

All you have to do is give a player the view and edit permissions for them to be able to edit the Bio & Info tab.  That also should give them access to the Attributes & Abilities tab to create whatever they need there.  I don't think there is a way to change the behavior of the Attributes & Abilities tab.  The only community created content for sheets occupies the 3rd/middle "Character Sheet" tab when you have a sheet selected for your game.  I'm not sure how your description is any different than what we have now other than having the attributes and abilities columns switched.
Yeh, won't be having a character sheet so that's not an option. So just to hash this over again, I wouldn't want them "switched" just an option to add abilities without adding additional content to the game. Right now there is just an input section for macros under abilities and I thought adding a macro there might give me what I need.

Can you give an example of what you are talking about. Abilities are macros, so I'm missing something.
I intend on using the attributes/abilities page on characters to store all of their attributes/abilities. I can add "attributes" and place those in and that works great,, but there is no SAME mechanism for the ability scores. When I click 'add' on the abilities it asks for a macro to use and/or display on a roll20 map/character sheet.  Instead of that, I would just like to display the abilities (the actual number scores, for example,   "first aid         35") in the tab just like attributes are stored now.  Not pass them somewhere, just display them on the right side, of the screen opposite the attributes score.     Does that make sense?

What Roll20 calls "Abilities" on that page are not like Ability Scores in D&amp;D. Roll20 Abilities are macros. Any value/score in the game like Strength, or First Aid, or Brawling, would be what Roll20 calls an Attribute. (Roll20) Attributes can be used in (Roll20) Abilities.

thanks so much for that. I was trying to do something with the mechanics that was not possible. I may be able to do t with player handouts. thanks again
