Describe the problem
Atrributes have an actual name, a short name, and a display name. These are only used for pop-up attribute sheets, when they should be presented to the user in all UI elements, e.g. the Token Property Editor.
A good variable name rarely makes a good display name.
This added functionality should also be extended to other user definable campaign properties such as states, bars, lights, and sight.
The improvement you'd like to see
Use the display name in the Token Property Editor and elsewhere.
Implement short and display names for all user definable campaign properties.
Make this information available (as appropriate) to Handlebars context data.
Macro Functions to look up names, e.g. json.get(getPropertyNames("Mana Count"), "canonical").
Expected Benefits
This would also permit more human readable entries in things like context menus.
Pop-up attribute sheets will be able to display state/bar image names more compactly.
Additional Context
As the bar/state name is not normally shown on the map, people tend to use descriptive names that can be long. This can conflict with my layout constraints to make things ugly. It would be preferred to have the option of using a short name
