This is an example for selecting attributes to be included in a Sheet Roll.

The key components are:

• Update display of toggle buttons based on the associated flag, using Styling Checkboxes and Radios
• Attribute name, button name, flag attribute name, and translation key all share the same base value.
• Displaying the selected attributes (based on translation key)
• Selected attribute list and dice pool value are stored in hidden input fields.
• Roll button references the dice pool attribute with Auto-Calculating Values
