Allow multiple locations in Document template

Feature Upgrade · Articles & templates · Created by Vibeca

What functionality is missing? What is unsatisfying with the current situation?

Currently, one can only add one location for in document article, but what if there are copies in other locations that are worth mentioning or even crucial to the plot? I've come across this issue recently when writing about a book in my world setting. The original book is in one location, but there are several copies of it in other places, at least one of which is somewhat relevant to the plot of my story. I'd imagine that this could be an issue for other people as well.   Maybe there could be a primary location bit as well as a possibilty to add further/other/additional locations.

How does this feature request address the current situation?

I think it would be helpful to be able to add multiple locations, so cases like that could be adequately depicted in the corresponding article to avoid issues like the one I described above.

What are other uses for this feature request?

This feature might also be useful within the Item template.

My suggestion, sadly, was declined, but I would like to thank everyone who supported it with their votes. It's good to know that there are people who also think this might be good, so thank you all :)

    Super easy, make it the kind of entry for multiple articles, already on other templates. I like this idea. I think a few spots on other articles could use that feature. I often want Characters to associate with more than just two Organizations.

    I think this is a great idea, and as others have said, it would be a great function for the items template.

    I can certainly see how this would be particularly useful for game masters to keep track of possible locations where their players may encounter a document and (as others have said) this would be useful in the item template for the same reason.

    This would be helpful as there can be copies of treaties or even medical/historical reports set in different countries. And there's also the use books being in some countries and not just one single country or city. Also, this would benefit the item template as well with some weapons or other items being in a few regions of a country instead of the whole country.

    I support the item template use. It's a niche use case but it can be used for such items as "page of bob's knowledge" which is a subitem of "book of bob" which has its pages scattered around places.
