Hello, I brought a group together to test some functionality and discovered a pretty big issue with the party sheet inventory tab.
Context: I play with a group of long-term 2nd Ed DND players, but the ruleset I am using is the 5e 2024 format. I say that to explain better that the moment treasure enters the conversation, they are very 'handsy' with a grab first and distribute later...or 'possession is 9/10ths of the law" kind of people. I understand some of this is user error(3 days into unity), Official content formatting, and system issues. I don't know which at this point, so this thread may need to be parsed.
The issue set-up: When I brought a parcel into the party sheet->inventory tab, they immediately started grabbing the coinage and dragging it to their sheet. They also started grabbing the items. Here were some of the logic issues that came up during this interaction:
1) it never subtracted the gold but instead kept adding coins to their character sheet...turning 12 gp into 96gp and then distributing the 12 when I hit the carrot.
2) The items moved ok, but there were duplicate items created. It could have been multiple people grabbing the same item or when I was typing the distribution name.
3) When putting items back, multiple quantity items needed to be dragged over one-by-one to be identified. It seemed to only happen after they were removed and dragged back into the party inventory.
4) An unidentified item still showed all the properties and descriptions of the magical item, though the title remained generic. So my Darts +1 had a "; magical" in properties and "Bonus +1" in the description. The whip had the full description included.
5) players can pull any number and drop it on their coins to add more GP. I bet this is broader than the party sheet, but one player realized they can drag the total party GP onto their GP and have duplicated the entire total on their sheet. IE: I have 1000 gp, and the party has 3000 gp. I drag it over and now I have 4000 gp, and the party has 7000.
Sorry for the long read, but this caused a big issue in inventory integrity in the game. Hoping it is as easy as a user error issue. Oh, and getting new players is not a fix ;)
