Foundryvtt Data Toolbox Tutorial
Timestamps below.
Data toolbox is a module for Foundryvtt that allows you to import data, in this video primarily feats, into compendiums from a csv file. This looks like it can make the creation of multiple entities much faster. As I'm converting a few 4e adventures into 5e, this will come in handy. I go through some coding details and the steps to follow to use the module.
EDITS:
1. It seems like the Cost column in my csv can't contain the "null" value for "no entry". It has to be a number. I used 0 and it worked.
2. Also, the module creator (@dorgendubal on discord) let me know that if you go to a specific entity in foundry, right click on it and choose export data, it'll give you the json code just for that entity.
3. He also told me that in the developer window (F12), there's a button at the top left (arrow: Select an element in the page to inspect it) which, once clicked, will let you click on something in the foundry window, like say a dropdown menu, and jump directly to the code for that element. If you expand the dropdown for that element, it'll show you the various variables used for the dropdown menu.
