(I thought I had seen this mentioned before, but after searching a bit, I didn't find it - I apologize if this has already appeared in the forum.)
I often find myself entering multiple subsections with identical structures into a Topic. Currently, we can only define an optional custom section by its header, and it only appears in the "Add Section => Above/Below This One => Custom Section" list until it is added once. Thus if there is a section structure that appears more than once in a given part of a Topic, it must be added by hand every time after the first. It would be nice if we could define the custom section by a separate label, and then add the section an arbitrary number of times, with different section names each time in the Topic. As a simple example, for those familiar with GURPS: An advantage (e.g. "Allies") might have several different optional enhancements (e.g. "Minion", "Summonable", etc.). Each enhancement has a name (the subsection title), a point cost adjustment (numerical snippet), and a description (text snippet). Currently, for each enhancement to a given advantage, I have to add a custom section, then a custom numerical snippet, then a custom text snippet, and only then fill in the data. It would be nice if I could, in my "GURPS: Advantage" category, add a repeatable subsection labelled "Enhancement", that would add the blank subsection (with an empty heading) and the two snippets, so I could then just fill in the name of the section and the data, and then do the same for the next enhancement to the same advantage. -Ian |

- Each Advantage/Disadvantage is its own topic - Each generally-applicable Enhancement/Limitation is its own topic, referenced by name where applicable - Each "captive" Enhancement/Limitation (one that applies specifically to one particular Advantage/Disadvantage) is listed as I described before, in the topic of the Advantage/Limitation to which it applies It's that last one which I would like to be easier, by allowing predefinition of repeatable subsections. -Ian |

Funny, I was going to make a post requesting this last night, but got lazy.
I created a custom topic called "Downtime Activity". All downtime activities allowed in my campaign from the Players Handbook, Dungeon Masters Guide, and Xanathar's Guide to Everything have a subsection with fields applicable to those subsections. I don't want the campaign time line cluttered with hundreds of downtime entries. I have on topic per character per downtime period. Problem is that for longer periods, their may be multiple weeks of a specific downtime activity. I would love to be able to just create a section for each instance. Instead I kludge but putting all roles and dates in a notes snippet and then just enter the totals in the fields. Example: 2019-02-11_17h30_09.jpg I would rather have a new section to record each instance / week of an activity.

I think this looks like it could do with a feature request to allow certain items NOT to appear in the timeline :-)

Repeatable Custom Sections would be very useful, so:
