Instanced/Generic option for character sheets

So, I create 5E NPC character sheets for every type of generic monster/enemy in the game, then, when I drop them onto the map I disconnect all the stats that I use in the bubbles from the character sheet so that when I change the HP on the unit token, it doesn't change it in the character sheet. It's a sort of hacked way to keep a quick catalog of monsters I can drop onto the map any time. It would be really nice if there was just a checkbox or something that says "generic unit" or "instanced unit" in the character sheet, so I could just drop a bunch onto the map without having to disconnect stats from the character sheet. Does that make sense?

This will solve your issue: <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Linking_Tokens_to_Journals" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Linking_Tokens_to_Journals</a> (One more nickel for me, one less for Phnord!)
AH, OK. So I have been doing this, just one step out of order. I had the token still linked when assigned to a journal. So I was dragging the token in, then unlinking it, dragging another in, unlinking, etc. Der... Thanks!

No problem! You can un-vote this suggestion to get rid of it (if you still have a vote on it), or maybe our friendly neighborhood Gauss will happen by and close it. =D
