Community Suggestion: Allow text entry for Species in character template

species character-template feature-upgrade upgrade
What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?
Right now I have to create a species article if I want to say what species a character is; however, when planning for a DnD campaign I don't want to have to do that to note what race a character is. For example, if I want to note that a character is a dwarf in the species entry, I would have to create a dwarf article.How does this feature request address the current situation?
The ability to simply write in the species entry would allow others and myself to be able to easily notate what species a character is without having to create an article about it, improving workflow.What are other uses for this feature request?
The Team's Response
Hello there! I am really sorry but I will have to decline this - for now - All custom fields like the one requested above can be handed by the key-value system for example: --Species::Dinosaurus Super Rex this is the reason that this system exists. It creates identical to the linked relations entries on the presentation

on 2023-02-08 14:52this seems unecesary you could just note something in the side bar. and you don't have to fill out a whole article its their as note and if lator you decided, for example, that the dwarfs in your world have some difference then D&D dwarfs you already have that article attached to the characters or NPCs who its applicable to when you make that change.

on 2023-01-23 13:16Likely not a feature I would use myself, but would certainly ease workflow for many others and I'm surprised it isn't one already.

on 2023-01-22 17:22While custum sidebars are a thing, I feel like making the species entry like the "current location" entry (where you can tag an existing article or simply write something without a link) would be a great improvement
