Tokens are broken

Since whatever update was applied, the tokens appear to be bugged in 5e. Tokens that are assigned to a character sheet do not allow their hit points to be adjusted via opening the token interaction menu and doing it that way-- the only way to adjust them is to click the token cog wheel and apply either a "+ or - number" to the hp total. Also, although the hit points show as changed if you open the token "guts" and/or look on the character sheet, the visible health bar above the token does not change, it still shows as if at full hp.

This is being discussed in the Bug Reports &amp; Technical Issues forum, for example:&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/11081161/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/11081161/</a> It has happened to me as a player in a The One Ring 1e game and as a GM in a 13th Age game.&nbsp;

As of this post it (the inability to edit from token settings) appears to be an intentional design change. However, the Devs have been made aware of some very basic functionality that is broken by this change. We hope they will revert the change soon.&nbsp; With that said, is there an issue with using the bubbles to change the hitpoints?&nbsp; You state that it is not changing the bar, could you provide steps to reproduce this?&nbsp;
I am unable to reproduce the bug where it is not changing the bar (at least not in one of my own games), that seems to be working today and may have just been a temporary glitch in the game I was in at the time. As far as using the bubbles to change the hit points, the problem arises when you may occasionally mistype when trying to put in a - or + value, and instead of the amount being added or subtracted, it ends up taking what you typed as being the actual total hit points (for instance, let's say you have a token with 20 hp, and you want to subtract 12 hp; you go to type in -12 but if you hit the wrong button, instead of it subtracting 12 and making the new total 8 hp, it thinks you want the new total to be -12... and once that happens, you'd better remember what the actual hp are supposed to be because Ctrl + Z won't fix it. It was much more fullproof to just be able to open the token window and change the values there, where it is shown as 8 / 20, if that makes sense.

Shard, as stated earlier we are hopeful the Devs will restore the ability to edit tokens from the token settings.&nbsp; In the meantime, you could just enter the current health in the bubble the same as you would edit tokens.&nbsp; Rather than doing +/-# in the bubble, you can just type "8" and then hit enter. The same as you would with the token settings.
