Charactermancer suddenly not working for Shadowrun 5E Sheet

If been trying out the "Shadowrun 5th Edition" Character Sheet to see if it might be better for my group than the ""Shadowrun 5th Edition (Advanced)" we are currently using. First everything worked fine. For testing I created a new game with a blank character and followed the instruction of the sheet for the chummer json import (you need to set any compendium in the game setting, I chose D&D). The first time all went perfect, only the skill names were not imported. I then thought maybe it has something to do with chummer's translation, so I changed the language to english and wanted to import the character again. This time I get to a screen "Importing your Shadowrun character...overwriting previous data" and nothing happen. I've let it run for almost half an hour and nothing changed. It did import my character's name and some basic data but no skills or attributes. I tried deleting the existing character and using a fresh one, changed the compendium, cleared my cache, set the language in chummer back to what it was, nothing worked.

Yeah, it was noticed some while ago, but the author said they wont be updating the sheet. <a href="https://github.com/Roll20/roll20-character-sheets/issues/8046#issuecomment-758901896" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/Roll20/roll20-character-sheets/issues/8046#issuecomment-758901896</a> So it's up to the community if something might get done with the broken import, but it's a complex feature that few sheet authors have done, so might be a long wait for anyone to take it on.

If some one wants to test it and submit it to the repo, I think its working on this compile version of my source code: <a href="https://github.com/clevett/Roll20-character-sheet-Shadowrun-5th-Edition/blob/main/Shadowrun5thEdition.html" rel="nofollow">https://github.com/clevett/Roll20-character-sheet-Shadowrun-5th-Edition/blob/main/Shadowrun5thEdition.html</a> I don't have the repos downloaded to submit a PR.

But isn't it curious that it worked once and then never again? Anyway guess that means the only thing that can be done is wait or fill it manually

Don't ask me, Cassie (who just replied) is the creator of the sheet. This is in the complicated end of things when it comes to sheet creation, and I'm not familiar with the ins and outs. But really there isn't anything odd in the thing breaking, especially if Chummer have update recently. Maybe it's made a change to the file structure, or added some other json data that results in the importer failing. Maybe using non-English character in some names caused problems.

I did wonder why the original thread went quiet! Does the advanced sheet work? I had problems importing to that one originally which is why we went with this one for our game. Update - Tried the 'Advanced ' sheet and that appears to be working ok. Funnily enough, I originally had issues importing characters to the advanced sheet which is why we didn't use it originally in our game.

Any little bad JavaScript can cause syntax errors which results in the house of cards tumbling down. I compiled some partially finished code I had and the importer appears working on that. So I put in a PR to merge it in. Check the importer once its merge. Probably early this week.
