Request to add Stat-Boosting magic items compatibility for the equipment section.

Very simple. I'm not sure where the priority for current new additions and changes are and I only understand pretty basic coding but I feel like this wouldn't be too hard. There is the capability for setting the new value for an attribute IE: Belt of Giant Strength. But for anything like an Ioun Stone or any other magic item that happens to boost an attribute, there is no support for it. Setting the stat override manually whenever the score changes would be considered a workaround but seems very tedious. Especially if you would have multiple of those stat-boosting items which if they are both trying to set a value would definitely conflict with each other. Basically, instead of putting  Strength:18  in the mods section of an item, I would like to be able to just put  Strength:+2  for a character with 16 str and get 18.
You are talking D&D 5e here, an enhancement for the D&D 5e Character Sheet?
I have an Ioun Stone on one of my characters, and was able to accomplish what you want. To get the desired effect: Add a new item to your equipment Click on the tiny i icon at the very right of the item's line In MODS: add +2 STRENGTH You should be good to go.

Fair enough, I found an old forum post from a year or so ago talking about this limitation and back then it was never solved. I didn't know the format for properly applying the stat boost I only knew about the override function, thank you for solving my problem so quickly as I tested it, and works exactly as you say.  Though, is there a way to add multiple stat boosts to a single item? Not a huge problem if you can't I'm just curious to know the limitations. 
I tried "+2 CHARISMA, +2 STRENGTH" and it worked as expected. If you don't use the comma the results are incorrect.
