Token Actions (Macros) Disappeared?

Sometime within the last 18 hours or so, all the custom macros disappeared from my creatures (i.e. under the journal: character: abilities).  Other macros under collections are fine.  Everything was working fine last night.    I've tried clearing the cache and the chat log for the game and signing back in.  Doesn't help.  Anyone else experience this?  Fixes?

Noticed that NPC sheets for these monsters that were created by drag and dropping the stat block from the compendium still have their NPC sheets although all the custom token actions are blown away.  Other NPC's not created through drag and drop appear to have had their NPC sheets blown away as well as the custom token actions.  Thinking I can't be the only one using DM Cody's example of how to set up a monster manual with token actions - no one else has noticed this problem?

Hey Graham. If you're not getting any response from Roll20 on here, it seems like I've noticed they're asking for Bug Reports to go through the HELP CENTER now. In the menus go Community > Help Center. It's not clear if the bug forum (here) is still functional.  As you can see unfortunately your original Report has been ignored for 6 days already.

I don't think I have encountered disappearing token actions before. Have you added an addon that overwrote some assets, maybe? I think (though I have not tested) that if you add on something like say, the Sunless Citadel, the addon goblins will overwrite local goblins. This is the opposite of Compendium dragging behavior, which will never overwrite a local copy (though you can drag and drop onto a sheet, like Cody's method, of course).

Graham: I've had unexpected difficulties with tokens pulled from the compendium. Especially if I want to modify their character sheets to fit  a special need. It didn't help making duplicating them, either. Sooo. If I need a long term token from the compendium, I create a new sheet and just copy the information across by hand. It's messy, I know - got to assign a picture, etc. If I only need one for a tempory encounter and such, then, maybe. But, like you, I wouldn't count on them, especially with macros. At least not until Roll20 gives you the "Okay, we've addressed that problem." One more thing. I learned very early on to backup everything possible to my hard drive. I have a copy of every macro I've ever made (in use) just in case - who knows what.

Kieth, interesting you mention the add on.  The one other thing I did that night was to apply an update that a creator did to a spell token deck that I'd already purchased previously.  But, I don't see why re-adding a card deck would result in over-writing token actions on creature tokens.  What made you think of that? keithcurtis said: I don't think I have encountered disappearing token actions before.

The Compendium drag issue you are having likely comes from the Compendium not wanting to overwrite the local copy. Make sure you rename a duplicate to keep this from happening. You shouldn't have to go to all the trouble and difficulty you are experiencing.

Ah no.  The compendium dropping is fine.  I was merely trying to indicate that while token actions were blown away the other night for both tokens originally created by dropping *and NPC's created manually, it looked like the manually created NPC's sheets were also blown away (not so for the drops).  But, given the timing and your other comment I believe that the update to the spell deck add on may be the culprit. keithcurtis said: The Compendium drag issue you are having likely comes from the Compendium not wanting to overwrite the local copy.

Yeah, it's hard to tell after the fact. I hope you didn't lose too much work. Here's a non-API solution to the loss of your token action macros if you would like to investigate. It sends a lot more to the chat, but compensates by giving you a lot of info too, as well as taking about five minutes to set up all the NPCs, old and new, in a campaign at once: NPC Statblock Chat Menu for D&D 5e sheet — No API required!

Brilliant!  Thanks.
