Activity Type: Advance

[arbron]

An activity type that would trigger a specific advancement, allowing for re-selecting options for that one advancement without having to go to the class/background/etc. item advancement tab and go through all the steps at that level. This would support a number of features that allow for re-selecting certain choices after a short or long rest.

Happy to open a separate issue for this if needed, but I think it would be a good idea to add this to individual advancements' context menus (or via a button), so that single advancements can have their options re-selected without having to run through all the steps at that level, without needing to use an activity, in cases where that is preferable (for example, during initial setup and tweaking, or more involved respecs, rather than 'in play' as the activity would be used).

Normally using an activity generates a chat message with an action button to do the actual work. I think this activity should not generate a chat message and just trigger the advancement directly. This activity sounds more like "character sheet management" like preparing spells rather than a "something my character does" like the Attack or Heal activities do, and in that context, it seems unnecessary to create a chat message.

While I agree that ad hoc triggering of an Advancement would be beneficial, I feel like the use case of features that allow for re-selecting certain choices after a short or long rest would be better handled by passing that option into the Rest dialog, perhaps if the Choose Item and Traits advancements had a Modify Choices on Rest field to accomplish this it would be a better ux than having the player to remember to use an item after a rest.
