[5e Shaped] resetting/ respawning the "convertFromOGL" function?

When using version 18.?.? I was having issues with that function for various mobs in CoS, it would basically hang ... and had to cancel it after 15 minutes.  Now that I upgraded to 19.?.?, I noticed its working great, but the mobs I opened in version 18 are incomplete NPC sheets.  Is there any way to respawn the function to update all mobs from my NPC/ Monster folders to fill in the missing info? The original way is just going to the NPC statblock tab and it does it for you.  But afterward, I don't know how to get it to do it again.

Hi Wolf, The convertFromOGL process is a one time process. If it fails the monster may be in an unusable state. I've never had a failing case reported so I've never tried to solidify that and my options to prevent that are quite limited. If you experience such a case on 19.X.X please do report it and I'll look at it immediately. Otherwise you can drag from SRD or if it's a module create a new module in OGL and export it and then import it to shaped. FYI if you post these kind of questions on the issue tracker or the Shaped thread I will notice them quicker (generally within a few hours unless I'm asleep). Sorry for the inconvenience.
Its the CoS module.  Not sure how to export OGL/ import to Shaped, but I'm gonna have to do that ... there are quite a few monsters/ npcs broken ...

Can you create a second CoS campaign, and then use the Transmogrifier to overwrite the failed characters? Caveat, try it with one or two unimportant ones first to verify there are no unforeseen problems.

I can definitely make a copy, and not sure how to really use the transmogrifier, but I'm sure its not too hard.  Its NPCs and Monsters though, not characters, but I know what you mean.
