Hi guys. I'm working on a ruleset, working from the 3.5e d20 ruleset to learn how to do it.

I replaced the "charsheet_notes.xml" file with this code:

My question is, when I go into the character sheet, I have full text editing/formatting options - however, as a GM, I am able to drag chat box text to the chat box window. As a player, I can edit and format text on the note page just like a GM can, but it isn't letting me drag chat box text to the chat box window. Is there more I need to do, (maybe in other files?) to let the player use the full text formatting features, and drag text boxes to the chat?

Thanks for any help!

The formattedtext fields do not support dragging of text by the clients. Only the host can drag text. This keeps players from spamming the chat box with large blocks of text, which are typically only needed for descriptive situations.

If players have common sayings they would like to have ready quickly, they can load them into the hotkeys.

Cheers,
