No Features & Traits

I just tried using the charactermancer to create a new character - a level 1 Fighter - and once the character was built, the sheet looked like this: As you can see, there was NOTHING in the "Features & Traits" section. At the very least, Second Wind should have been there, as well as my Fighting Style and custom lineage feat. Nor can you add anything - the + and lock buttons at the bottom are missing. P.S. There's also nothing over in the "Other Proficiencies and Languages" section, and no way to add it there either.

NOW it's doing it on the Equipment section! Yay!

Hi Shard,  I suggest refreshing the browser, then see what happens.  Which browser are you using?  Does Incognito (Chrome) or Privacy (Firefox) mode help? 

Yes, refreshed numerous times with no change. I was using Firefox. I have no idea what you mean by "Incognito or Privacy mode", I've never even heard of that.

To open a Private tab in your Firefox please click on the three bars in the top right corner of your Firefox. Then open a Private window.  Next log in to Roll20 and test to see if the problem continues. 

Nope, that did nothing. Fancy colors, though. Gauss said: To open a Private tab in your Firefox please click on the three bars in the top right corner of your Firefox. Then open a Private window.  Next log in to Roll20 and test to see if the problem continues. 

Does the problem persist in Chrome? 

Yes. Regular window: Incognito Window:

The Lock or + Button to add / modify Features and Traits are also missing... for you... So that's definitely a bug... Shard said: Nope, that did nothing. Fancy colors, though.

At this point I am out of ideas, I suggest filing a bug report with the Devs via the Help Center . 

To clarify, the reason people on the forums ask users with issues to try an incognito window is that most users have never whitelisted any browser extensions to run in that environment. It's a quick way to test for extension interference as a possible culprit.

Another possibility is that the name of the character is causing an issue. I see a non-displaying character at the end of the name. That typically is more likely to cause problems in macros, but depending what it is, may have greater impact and is at least worth a test. Try selecting all characters of the name, deleting and re-typing it.

Nope, made no difference. And even if that was the problem, I have done it a bazillion times before over the past few years with np whatsoever. This seems to clearly be a problem with the recent updates. keithcurtis said: Another possibility is that the name of the character is causing an issue.

Just now as a test, I remade the character from scratch, using the charactermancer on a new sheet, and typed the name with no special characters. It made no difference, it came back with the same errors, see below: keithcurtis said: Another possibility is that the name of the character is causing an issue.

What happens if you create a character WITHOUT the Charactermancer? And just input everything manually?

This seems to clearly be a problem with the recent updates. The problem with that assumption is that the platform is continually developing. Any recent issue can easily be attributed to "recent changes", so it gets us no closer to a cause unless the problem is both sudden and widespread. This is the first report I can remember seeing of this particular phenomenon and no one else seems to be reporting it. So the first recourse is to look for issues about how a user's computer is locally or uniquely reacting to Roll20 code. I.e. it may or may not be a Roll20 code issue, but what makes it behave differently on your machine? I do notice that the two repeating areas that lack the controls or display, also have  the resize controls in the area (se below), indicating that the whole area is being interpreted as a text field, rather than a repeating container. This is not normal. This is a first level fighter. Have you added any third party (non-WotC) compendium sources to the game? It could be a case of bad data from a third party compendium breaking the HTML.

One other (very unlikely) possibility. Is your language set for anything other than English? The sheet doesn't seem to be translated in any way, but that would be a case where a particular translation might have unique code that makes it act differently from the installs in other games.

Nope, I just popped up another character sheet using the +Character button in the Journal tab (maybe that's the problem?), and right out of the gate the same areas of the character sheet were blank, before I ever did anything with the sheet.

It is worth noting that I just checked with some other players in the same game, and they are seeing the same thing. So it's not a "me" problem.

In the Game Settings make sure the "Features & Traits", "Inventory" and "Proficiencies & Languages" are set to Compendium Compatible and not Simple. If they are already set that way, check the same settings on an affected character sheet.

Not my game, but I can mention it to the GM. If that's the case, though, then it's interesting that I just had a similar problem with a different character sheet in a different game run by a different GM. And all of it stacks up directly after the latest Roll20 "update". I'm thinking it's not a user-end issue.

Turns out that was the problem, at least on the one sheet I've been playing with. The Proficiencies & Languages and Features & Traits were set on Simple instead of Compendium Compatible. Thanks for the answer. Jim R. said: In the Game Settings make sure the "Features & Traits", "Inventory" and "Proficiencies & Languages" are set to Compendium Compatible and not Simple.

Good find, Jim! I'll have to remember that one.
