Journal - Character Token Drop Question

All, So I figured out the Journal and Charcter Drop feature - that will make switching maps easier.     However I have noticed something.   A token has attributes - HP, Attack, etc.      There are also attributes in the Character Journal Entry.   What I have noticed is that when you select the default token for the character in the Journal Entry it takes all the settings for the token at that time it was selected  (HP, attack, etc).    I put this token on the map and it takes some damage and drops to 8 HP.   I would normally update the token on the map (say from 16 to 8 hp).  This is great and keeps track of the status of the character.    I advance to the next scene and drag and drop the token from the Character Journal.   As I said, it saves the token with the valves from when that token was entered into the Journal, and now the character is back up to 16 HP Am I missing something?   In the end  it would not be too hard to update the token values after dragging it from the Journal Entry, but it would be nice if the token values were tracked in the Journal entry as they are changed during the game.  .   Erik

You need to link the HP bar to the attribute and then set it as the default token. That way any new token will have the current level of hitpoints.  - Gauss
You can link your token's bars to attributes on the character sheet.  That should keep things synced up.  Under the token's settings, choose the character from the "represents character" drop down menu.  Then go over to the three bars and you can use the dropdown menus next to them to select an attribute from that characters sheet.  If you choose HP, it will update on both the token and the character sheet when you change either one. EDIT: D'oh!  Gauss and his ninja mod skills beat me to it. :)
Got it....thanks both for the answer....that is pretty kewl. 
So now next question, is there a way in the Character Journal to set ¨Add Turn¨ for character.   So now when I copy to new page, everything follows, but I still need to right click and ¨Add Turn¨

No, although you can use the shortcut for add turn Ctrl+U. - Gauss
