Some questions about tying tokens to character pages

Hey guys. I've had a rummage around the wiki and I can't find anything on this, so I'm assuming that it isn't possible yet, but I thought I'd better ask just in case. I've got two questions about tokens that have been connected to a character page;   1. Is there any way to assign multiple tokens to a single character page at once? I.e., I've got a character page for Goblins, that contains the basic stat block for a goblin enemy, and I've got multiple different goblin tokens because I don't like using clone tokens if I can avoid it. Can I assign all the tokens to the Goblin character sheet at once, or do is it just a case of having to go through each one individually?   2. Similarly, is there a way to set it so that a specific attribute from a character sheet automatically appears in a specific bar on the token options? For example, I always put the HP of the token in the red circle/bar, and the AC in the blue circle/bar, and it would be great if I could make these happen automatically, rather than having to do each one manually. It's not the worst thing in the world to have to do that, but it would be a time saver when setting up encounters on the fly. 
Oh, third question. Is it possible to create character sheets in the journal without them appearing on the "Represents Character" drop down list? 'Cause I only really need my stat block characters on that list, and it's a bit of a hassle to scroll through a huge list of things that I don't really need on there at all. I imagine it probably isn't possible, but again, might as well ask.

Hi Nathan, here are some good starting places: 1:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Collections#Creating_a_Rollable_Table_Token" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Collections#Creating_a_Rollable_Table_Token</a> 2:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Game_Settings_Page#Token_Defaults" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Game_Settings_Page#Token_Defaults</a> 3: I don't think that is possible but someone may correct me lol, although when you have the drop down open you can start typing to quickly get in the rough area... in fact, type fast enough and you'll get straight to your intended target ;)

A point of note from a thread I saw previously: I don't think rollable table tokens work with game settings&gt;token defaults which may scupper some of your use case... generally though those two options should lessen some of your woes.
I've managed to solve my problems, I think. I was being thick again. All I need to do is place a single token from the Rollable Table Token, set it to the correct character sheet and AC/HP, then copy and paste, then trigger the "Multi-Side &gt; Random Side" thing to get an array of tokens. That does everything I need it to do in a relatively fast manner. Thanks!

Just to cover all the bases, are you aware of the ' default token ' function. It's like copy and paste but not as reliant on sequential use :) Forgive me if I'm teaching you to suck eggs as my Grandmother would say and I'd never truly understand... who'd suck eggs?!!?
Yeah, I was aware of that, but I don't think it's possible to make more than one default token for the mook enemies, which is what I was after. I like using a variety of tokens for a singular enemy-type, so that it looks a bit more varied, so I was after a fast way to generate lots of different tokens with the same stats. I think it's working the way I want it to, though.&nbsp;&nbsp; Thanks for posting that link though, as I didn't realise I needed to unlink the AC/HP stats. That would have been super frustrating if I hadn't noticed it till the next time I was running a game. &gt;.&gt;&nbsp;

Cool, it's a learning curve to be sure... we've ALL been there ;) Combining a rollable table token and a default token sounds like all you'd need to save yourself a lot of duplicated work, then it's just a matter of planning the best way to TPK while practicing your maniacal laughter. Happy rolling!
