Display current hp for NPC automatically through settings

I am trying to configure my game settings to always use Bar 3 to display NPC/Monster hp. I have configured my other two bars to display AC and Speed and it works fine. However, for HP, when I configure it, it does not display the current hp of the npc. Instead, I have to go into the token properties, and go to bar 3 and enter the current hp. The feature is partially working. The max hp are displayed in the second field when I open the token properties. Is there are way to do this? Can someone maybe send me a screen shot if they succeeded with this? Sorry if this was already posted here, but I couldn't find the answer. Thanks in advance.
By the way, I am playing D&D 5E if it matters.

Are the current hp set to max (or anything) on the actual character sheet?
