Can you use windowlist for a static list?

I'm making some tweaks to the ruleset and I was just about to start a mass of copy paste when I thought... surely I can do this with windowlist.

I am setting up a pop/details window to allow players to modifier their stats. Base/Modifier and Temp Modifier (also adding fields to be used later for items/effects to set stat or adjust it).... I've got the functions setup to setup watches/etc based on the <target>intelligence</target> and it's working fine. However instead of having a entry for each I figured I could use a windowlist... but I can't seem to figure out if windowlist can be fed just a static list of items like this.

Short version, I'd like to have a windowlist that runs on "strength|dexterity|constitution|intelligence|wisd om|charisma" so that for each item it's created list of names/numbers pulled from the templates/lua code.

Something like this:

Is it possible or do I just need to do it the old fashion way?

You would have to use a sourceless windowlist, and use createWindow with the correct window class and data path for each ability.

You can do it, but I found that shoehorning this type of data into a windowlist, instead of copy/paste the specific fields, usually isn't worth the gyrations to do it that way. Plus it involves a lot more Lua script, instead of letting the FG engine handle automatically through the XML definitions.

But, yes, I've had the same thought before...
