Unable to hide npc token names from players

Hey all, So i've been running into an issue where if i drop an npc monster from the compendium onto the map it shows its' name to the players by default, and when i update token permissions to uncheck the [See] option and save it, itll revert instantly to show the name. This is an issue that only shows up at this particular campaign. But the settings are identical to the campaign that does work fine. Has anyone run into this issue as well or know of a possible solution?

Out of curiosity, are you using any APIs? For example, in my games I use the Aura/Tint HealthColors API which insists names are displayed and my workaround has been to manually delete the name from the token and reassign it to the character sheet so that it looks like this: I don't know if this is an issue with any other APIs, but this has been my experience and while it adds a couple extra minutes to my prep time, it has eliminated the problem for me.

There has been a rash of Aura/Tint HealthColors reports lately (though Github says it hasn't been updated in two years). Type "!AURA" into chat and you should be able to change the script's behavior.
Thank you for the replies, I'm indeed using aura tint healthcolors API, i will have a look at those settings. It's odd that the other campaign (that also uses the same api) doesnt have these issues.
Thank you so much for the help! Using the !AURA command i set the "PC sees all NPC names:"  option to OFF, now when i change the permission for the players to see or not see the token name, the change stays as i set it. My issue has been resolved, thanks again!
