I've been creating homebrew monsters off and on for the last few years, and for the most part it's not terribly hard, but the new(ish) die roller notations can be a real slog. Sometimes I'd just like to copy an attack block from another monster and then tweak modifiers or damage types to fit my monster. To do that though, I have to create a new temporary monster using that monster as a base, then copy out the code, then delete the monster from my collection again. This takes a while and is a waste of resources (D&D Beyond archives even deleted homebrew, right?).
It would be amazing if there were a toggle code button on monster stat blocks to show you the code for abilities and actions instead of the formatted text, allowing you to just copy out the attack block or whatever else you wanted. Maybe there's an extension or browser add-on that does this already, but I'm not aware of it.
Thanks for your time.
Edit: I missed that there's a whole section of forums for suggestions, I guess this would be more appropriately moved there. Feel free to delete this.
