[size=4]This is a large projects tool built with ease of use, preferences, and modifications kept in mind. When you open up the doc, you are brought straight to a page that explains each of the pages and tools in detail, as well as tells you exactly what you can or can't edit about the page. Through this tool, you can list a large variety of information that you [i]wish to[/i] about each dragon, with validators used to help you enter the information even faster. No data is absolutely required. If you don't want to enter the sizes for dragons, you don't have to! Anything you enter simply helps the rest of the pages to work to the best of their abilities. Even better yet, when you enter a Gene or Apparel preview image url in for a dragon, this sheet will [i]automatically[/i] figure out exactly what is needed in the project! Based on the gene data you've already entered for the dragon, it will even take it into account so that it doesn't list genes you've already applied. What's more - all of the FR-specific data gets updated to your sheet automatically as well! When a new gene is added, I simply enter it into a sheet on my end and then any spreadsheets you've copied from the Template will automatically update as well. You don't have to lift a finger when new genes and apparel come out. If any changes are ever made to the Template, you can simply check your Changelog page to see what has been done and instructions on how to make the modification yourself. If you're not sure how to make the modification, you are absolutely more than welcome to ask for help!

The spreadsheet has been updated to include Banescales and all of the genes that came with them! They should now work as entries and gene projects in the spreadsheets.

@Galaxtea This looks to be super-useful! I've started entering my dragons' information, and I have a suggestion for you: for the columns G1?, Mate, Fam?, and Lore?, use drop-downs since there are only three answers to those questions: Yes, No, and Needed

@sgkat Thank you for the suggestion!
The Mate column is for entering IDs, so that probably won't change. I had originally considered using validation for the rest of those columns though, but considered the fact that people would most likely just enter "Y" or "N", at which point the dropdowns are just extra work.

I'd love to hear your further input on this, perhaps you've got some ideas or perspective that I haven't thought of myself!

@Galaxtea IDs for mates, of course - that makes way more sense than just entering "Y", which is what I was doing. Maybe put a comment on that column to explain that?

Honestly, I don't know if drop-downs would be extra work or not - I suggested them based on my experience using a two-option drop-down in my job (the options there being "Yes" and "N/A", very similar to here).
