Creating items

[Myrdin Potter]

I am creating a ton of little items (from a pick pockets results table) and I have a few questions.

1) How do you enter decimals for the weight? It does not take the "." I type, only the number. So if I type .2, it results in 2.

2) All the items I am typing are basically Adventuring Gear, Standard (which seems to be the catch all in 5e). Is there a way to have those two fields prepopulated?

I type in 0.2 and it works. You have to be fast though or it forgets the 0. and you just get the 2.

[Myrdin Potter]

You are right, you need to type really fast. That is strange behaviour.

I'm not sure that's expected. I'll pass it along just in case it isn't

How can I get the new item to default to adventuring gear and standard subtype?

Type 'Adventuring Gear' into the Type and 'Standard' into Subtype

So I need to type it for every new item I create?

Or create one item with those fields filled in and a generic name and copy it each time you want one of those. (i.e. no way I know of to have some of the fields in any object type default to anything.)

That is a good solution. Create a dummy item that has the two fields done, drag and drop to make a copy and then fill in the rest. I have to create 100+ little items so any time savings helps.

What about Par5E? If you have that many...
