Feature: Bind Drag-n-Drop
Contents
Bind Drag-n-Drop
This enables or disables the Drag-n-Drop ability for player's use (effectively toggling such).
NOTE: The player (if they are using the script have the ability to temporarily import such themselves)
Walkthrough (How to use it)
- Ensure you are using Default 5e Character Sheet - (ie. 5e OGL)
- If you are the DM: Go to settings
;
- If you are a PLAYER or using Temp Import: Go to journal
- Click Bind Drag-n-Drop
- Effected entries in the Journal will now have a Green Highlighted Coloration (This indicates the script recognizes them as importable)
- Click and Drag them from the Journal onto an open sheet Character Sheet that is editable ( you must have write access and the Character sheet cannot be not locked)
- The sheet will (should) identify that the handout is being dropped on the sheet and after a few moments the sheet should update or prompt for User input.

Known Issues/Limitations
Cannot Get Bind Drag n Drop to Work
- After Clicking Bind Drag-n-Drop some/all of the entries in the journal are not changing to green highlighted.
- Primary Cause:This occurs when someone moves/changes or in some way causes Roll20 to resave the file. Most often its someone opening the handout and attempting to modify the text of the player-facing handout. That, however, causes the system to review the text in the DM Only section and Roll20 attempts to "fix" the text which breaks the import code therein.
- Work Around:Use the Delete Folder + its Content or the Journal Cleaner to remove the entries that get a green highlighting after Drag-N-Drop has been clicked. Then you'll need to reimport the handouts again.
- Less common Cause:This occurs when someone attempts to use Module import/exported content for Bind Drag n' drop. Module import does not create drag an drop content, it makes a 1:1 copy of the Roll20 game data. Roll20/Orr does not support betteR20's drag n' drop approach.
- Work Around:Use import by category and bring in a copy of any of spells/items/etc that the adventure included with the GM's notes fields populated with the code needed to make bind drag n' drop work.
FAQ
Cannot get the Race / Class / Background / Spell / etc to import to the character sheet.
- You've imported content to the game, and it doesn't seem to be working. Confirm against what is a Known Issues for BetteR20.
- The imported Data doesn't get added to the Roll20 Compendium, so if you're looking there, you'll note (correctly) that those imported elements do not work.
- If you are clicking and dragging the journal entries on the sheet and it's not working, and the journal entry isn't highlighted green... you need to click the Bind Drag-n-Drop button. The entry must be highlighted (identified as valid) for bind drag and drop to work.
- If you're wondering why CharacterMancer doesn't have the new information, its because charactermancer isn't supported.
