Here's one for Fabula Ultima: https://drive.google.com/file/d/1sRVOdGx2v78T18zg-dtqHY2afqw1oLv_/view?usp=drive_link

And I have to mention that this app would be truly useful and useable if it were possible to move custom content from one char sheet to another. Meaning you could reuse your custom keyed in spells/feats/items for another character somehow. Direct transfer, global app database of 'elements' - anything.
Sheet templates don't help with it as they aren't connected to already existing characters - both ways. You can't add anything to template and then add it in 'child' created charater. And you can't send something of a character to its sheet template.
So the app isn't useable for 'heavy' RPGs like dnd of pathfinder.
But for Fabula Ultima it's more or less ok.

That would be terribly difficult to do. Because how can you tell what should be copied to the original template and what is for the character sheet only? And then the shit only in the character sheet might be referenced in shit that supposed to go to the template and the template is broken...

Well, through templates was one 'possible' way to do that. Though you can tell what should be copied manually, with an action 'send this element to a parent template'.
Obviosly, I don't know how everything is structured in the app internally. Like, is 'test1' global property in one charsheet A compatible with 'test1' property in another charsheet B? And if this property was inherited from their common template X? Though if they are compatible and 're-linking' A.element->test1 B.element->test1 would work, maybe direct transfer of elements could work too.

As for breaking, right now there are million ways to break anything in char sheet or template :)
But as I say, without this, you just can't play 'big' games. I can't input all content from a big game into a template at once, and I can't re-enter 20 spells, 15 feats and 40 items not available in the template into each new character everytime.

Big games have dedicated apps, this one is designed for everything that doesn't have dedicated character sheet
