I am not sure if this is the correct section for this, so I apologize if it isn't.
I am wondering if there are any future plans to add a bio tab to the 5e character sheet that would allow us to drag and drop backstory elements, such as deity, faction/organization, occupation, family, etc. onto the character sheet?

Right now that stuff all just gets added to the Notes tab, but mostly without drag & drop.

I've never seen a list of upcoming functionality posted until it get to the public beta test channel (see this forum (https://www.fantasygrounds.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?55-The-Laboratory), when the next one happens, Look for a post from Moon Wizard titles something like "Test Release 3.3.4").

As always, you can always check the FG Wishlist (https://fg2app.idea.informer.com/) to see if the idea is posted there, or you can always create a suggestion yourself.

That's what the 'Notes' space in the notes tab is for. You can copy paste text into there. At the moment there's nothing that I am aware of that you could drag and drop into the character sheet so I'm not sure that having such a tab would be worthwhile. However you could add it to the wish list (https://fg2app.idea.informer.com/).

Okay, great. Thanks for the info.

Another idea would be to use the Adventures section on the Log tab. While not strictly intended for biography data, it is meant to be a chronological log of your career. Thus, you could create a Session 0 adventure and in there put all the goodies you want. The adventure logs are nice because you can drag and drop objects from various sources in there in addition to entering formatted text. Best of both worlds.

Great suggestion. I was unaware of this option for drag and drop.
Thanks.
