Add action to change Evidence/Profile Name & Desc
I feel like this would be helpful because otherwise I have to create multiple evidence/profile entries for each new thing the player learns about that piece of evidence/profile throughout the trial. Thank you for your time.

Re: Add action to change Evidence/Profile Name & Desc
This would be helpful yeah. I find this is an issue with AAO and another case maker PYWright where you have to make 2 pieces of evidence for the same thing whenever you want to update it.
Re: Add action to change Evidence/Profile Name & Desc
It would especially be useful for profiles, which you might often want to update as more information comes in, without having to create entirely new "characters" with their own sets of sprites and everything.
I know you don't have to add new sprites every time if you're not going to use that new profile that way regardless, but the profile list can get pretty clogged up and hard to keep track of if you have a lot of characters and multiple alternate versions for all of them.

Re: Add action to change Evidence/Profile Name & Desc
This would require some technical changes to AAO that have me uneasy. At present, the only profile/evidence information that may change is what profiles/evidence are visible. With this proposal, the list of things that may change is much bigger. Names and descriptions at minimum, but in principle, anything about a profile or evidence object. That gets complicated fast and is going to make it much harder to make changes to evidence or profiles.SmileyMiley wrote: ↑Sat Jan 16, 2021 2:45 am I feel like this would be helpful because otherwise I have to create multiple evidence/profile entries for each new thing the player learns about that piece of evidence/profile throughout the trial.

It was previously proposed that you could clone an existing profile/evidence so you could modify it easily. That, I'm completely okay with.

Re: Add action to change Evidence/Profile Name & Desc
I already answered that in the past : https://www.aaonline.fr/forum/viewtopic ... 19#p774019
Basically, the thing we can implement is, indeed, a button to duplicate a piece of evidence easily - but "updating" a piece of evidence does not really make sense from a game design perspective.
