i want to add in the equipment tab in the character sheet a divider that will show what items i got inside the component patch, so it will be much more easier to keep track on the ingredients for my magic. or in a different containers that i got.
I have a similar need because I am acquiring stuff that I don't carry with me all the time and my character appears to be encumbered when in truth he is not. I took the diplomat's pack to start but I don't carry a chest with me every where I go. When I'm in a dungeon I don't bring my two-man tent. I would like to be able to tag items into containers, and then tag which containers I am carrying with me. His need to put components into a component pouch is just one part of a broader system I'd like to see allowed. As another example, I keep all my "other" clothes in a trunk. I'm not carrying a costume, a set of common clothes and a set of traveling clothes when I'm walking around in town wearing my fine clothes.

for component pouch stuff, i put it in equipment, but just type it in under 'other possessions' to keep it separate. you can also put it in Notes....that also allows you to use the whole line, separated by commas to save space.
encumbered: for items that are in equipment but in a bag of holding or whatever, i just click customize and set the weight to 0....you could also do that for stuff you just aren't carrying...or also put that stuff in other possessions or notes.
Another point is that the equipment list begins to become unwieldy. If I could put equipment in a sub tab under the container name (which would have to be Chest 1, Chest 2, Saddle Bags 1, …) then it would help. But I respect that there are more important gameplay features they would like to address.
Putting stuff in the Other Items Tab will allow me to fix a lot of problems.

Another point is that the equipment list begins to become unwieldy.
for non consumable stuff that i never really change quantity on, here's what I do with an example:
I select Backpack and then customize the name to "Backpack, Bedroll, Mess Kit, Waterskin". I then change the weight and the cost to be the sum of all those items (rounding up on cost as it doesn't let you input silver/copper). I then delete the Bedroll, Mess Kit, and Waterskin. saves 3 lines.
similar can be done for ink, ink pen, scroll case or spellbook....climbing gear...i'll do 3-5 items per line and then view the pdf to ensure the entry isn't so long it wraps (so on average i probably do 4 items per line).
it saves a lot of space if you're one of those people like me who has to carry all the old-school tricks that you never find the time to use :) ...gotta have my flour, but it doesn't really need to be on a separate line from my bell.
if it turns out i do loose / break one of those items during an adventure, i just make a note to buy another one next time i'm in town - instead of deleting the whole group of items.
Yup! I still carry two units of string and two "sleigh" bells, and a whole bunch of other things for that reason. Also as a camping enthusiast, I carry a small knife, tinder box, mess kit, blanket, hand axe, … all the stuff to be prepared when I'm out in the woods. I'll have to see if I want to bother with that degree of customization.
I'm going to start by adding my Trunk and the list of clothes to my Other Items tab today.

hi all,
i want to add in the equipment tab in the character sheet a divider that will show what items i got inside the component patch, so it will be much more easier to keep track on the ingredients for my magic. or in a different containers that i got.
is there an option for it ?
Not currently. Inventory management is something they are hoping to address this year, but no promises in that regard.

until they do the mechanics for containers:
for component pouch stuff, i put it in equipment, but just type it in under 'other possessions' to keep it separate. you can also put it in Notes....that also allows you to use the whole line, separated by commas to save space.
encumbered: for items that are in equipment but in a bag of holding or whatever, i just click customize and set the weight to 0....you could also do that for stuff you just aren't carrying...or also put that stuff in other possessions or notes.

That's a couple good ideas. Thanks.

careful, its an OCD trap. I can't NOT do it on a character sheet now. o.O

You can also rename items and they automatically sort alphabetically. So everything in the backpack name "backpack - item" or similar.
