Suggestion: Allowing Player Editing

Edit and Update: This has been added already. Thanks again! I want to preface this by saying I am very much enjoying this new program. Very excited to see how it develops. For the suggestion though, is there a chance we can mark a given element for greater control from the player? For instance in the character section, even after giving ownership and visibility to a player that has joined, they can't edit anything on it. Similar for tokens, I'd personally much rather my players keep track of their own HP and MP directly on the token. So I suppose in essence what I'm asking for is a third toggle to give complete and almost GM level control to a specific element.
We've had several requests similar to this. We'll be taking a close look at this.
This has just been added in the latest update. See the changelog for more details.

Thank you very much!
When you give a player edit, but not view, on a character's status bar they can't use the the radial menu commands to edit that property. But if you give view, then all players can see it. So for example, I'd like the character to keep track of their own HP, without everyone else seeing it. They can still edit the values in the properties, but the radial menu commands such as +x or -x are really handy as well as not involving a new window.
Yeah that makes sense. I will make it so that View means all players can see, Edit means players who control the token can edit and view. Then if you want all players to edit (as it is now) you just give control to All Players. I'll work on that later tonight.
Sorry this took so long to get fixed, but in the next update if you use the "See" flag, all players can see the bars/auras. If you use the "Edit" flag, then players which can control the token will see + be able to edit the value (including using the radial menu). Thanks!
