streamlining character traits across series
Current behavior: When I import multiple stories into a series folder, the same protagonist gets a separate set of character traits for each story they appear in. For example, if Character X is in three books, their Story Bible card ends up with three "Physical Description" fields and three "Personality" fields - one per import.
Why this is a problem: It makes the character card cluttered and hard to use. I have to scroll through duplicate trait categories to figure out which version is current, and there's no synthesized view of how the character grows or changes across the series.
Suggested improvement: Merge traits across imports into a single, consolidated entry per category. The merged trait should account for what the character does and how they behave across all stories combined, so I get one up-to-date "Physical Description" and one "Personality" that reflects their full arc.
Use case: This would make the Story Bible actually useful for series continuity, instead of forcing me to manually clean up duplicate traits after every import.
A merge or synthesize step at the trait level would be useful!
