PC Character Sheet Notes coded as a Story

You are basically taking the sidebar notes and put it on the character sheet.

Why is this better than using notes which any player can access?

Currently the notes field in the PC sheet is a plain text string control. The request is to change this to a formatted text control (or add another field that is a formatted text control). This will allow adding links to the PC sheet note field, and doing other formatted text that would make PC notes data more flexible than a string control. I don't think the ask is to add the sidebar notes to a PC sheet.

Yeah my point was you can do those things with sidebar notes.

PC "notes" (stuff to do with the PC - links to deities, spells, other things, etc.) should be within the PC sheet, not within campaign notes, as they are specific to the PC. If a PC is exported from a campaign they need to have all of their details with that PC - that can't be done with campaign "notes".

For example, in the PF2 ruleset there is a plain text field for PC notes (this remains plain text for backwards compatibility), there are additional "notes: fields that are formatted text that allow adding in links etc. within the PC.

Ok thanks that helps.

This was my test approach with World of Darkness and hoping it gets adopted in other rulesets.

Like I said it's basically the action tab but for notes lol

I think that it a bit cleaner with individual records.
