Problem with multiple tokens referecing same journal entry

I am currently having a problem that seems to come from the fact that I have several of the same enemy (say a goblin) that I have created a journal entry for so I can have easy access to the stats and such later. Unfortunately, if damage is applied to one of the tokens, damage is done to all the tokens. Is there any way to have it where I can have multiple of the same token, that reference a journal entry, and not have them all be affected by together? Or do I need to not use the journal entry for that set of creatures?
Yep. Follow these steps exactly: Remove all examples of the creature's token from the map, except one. Enter that token's tools, and where the HP is set, UNset it. In other words, bar 1 no longer represents anything; keep the numbers in place, however, and if the creature was 'injured' return him to full 'health'. Close that token's tools, then go into its Journal entry sheet, and Edit it. REMOVE the default token. Click the token on the map to highlight it. SELECT it as the default token. Save and you're done. This is a very, very, veerrryyyy common mistake people make! The trick is that mooks' bars represent nothing; characters' bars represent their characters! Set it up perfectly before you make the token default, because that's what you'll get every time!

Phnord nailed it. :)
I should just save a copy of this answer somewhere, to cut & paste into these things, eh? q;}
lol. Well thank you very much for the help. I will go try that out.

Glad I could spur you into helping others. The advice worked perfectly. thank you again.
