Problem with the new Token Function

Hello you all, I got a problem, maybe I am doing it wrong, but here we go (Sorry for grammar mistakes english isn't my first language). When I pull a creature from my compendium (let's say DnD a Skeleton) and want to use a new token. I empty out the avatar and token slot and I assigne a new avatar. Before when I then drag and dropped the creature, it pulled, if no token was set, the avatar picture as a token. Now I get this damn blue/violet person on white backround and it really bugs me. Do I do something wrong or is that a mistake in the code?

Addition: It only happens with compendium character sheet. Newly created Sheets don't have this problem.

I narrowed it further down. If at any point a Character sheet had a custom token, deleting it in the sheet will only deleted the image and exchange it with the standart default token. 

Where were you pulling from to create the token? From the journal tab, or from the open character sheet?

I'm having this same issue as well @keithcurtis, happens when pulling the character from the journal. EDIT: Looks like it's broken for everything, can't do anything with any tokens from any kind of character whatsoever.

Do I do something wrong or is that a mistake in the code? I believe I have the reproduction steps here (must be a Compendium character that previously had a default token that was not the "blue man on white background") 1) Edit character sheet 2) remove Default Token and Avatar 3) add new Avatar 4) Save 5) Drag and drop to map to create token from the Avatar. Set up token.  New result: creates "placeholder token" of white background with shape of a person in blue.  Old result: creates a token using the Avatar image.  This is not a bug, it is just not intuitive to the old way of doing things. The new way is (see bolded line):  1) Edit character sheet 2) Drag images to Default Token and Avatar (do NOT remove previous Avatar or Token) 3) Save 4) Drag and drop to map to create token. It has all the settings your old token had but with the new image. NO need to set it up! This is an improvement and removes steps that were unnecessary in the old way. Those steps were: Add image to Avatar, drag to tabletop, create token out of tabletop image, set up token. Edit: I have realized that this only applies to character sheets with tokens that have been assigned to the character sheet ("Use Selected Token"). I updated the above appropriately. The new setup is to allow you to change the image without breaking the token settings. Follow the steps above to change the image without having to change the token settings. 

The reason I asked was that tokens are not intended to be pulled from the journal. This has never resulted in a properly-formed token, just a graphic, set as a generic token (no association). The Avatar picture could be pulled from the journal yes, but it was no different from any other graphic pulled from the art library. Here are some resources for the intended procedure (these were made before recent updates, so the interface looks a little different). Here is the wiki article on  Linking Tokens to Journals Here is a  video  wh ich demonstrates the procedure

Gauss thank for your explantion. Sadly that wasn't my problem. The problem is that I don't want to set a Token. Before i left the Token slot in the sheet empty, since i rolled hitpoint by hand and added these in. Now that is a lot more complicated, going into the tokensetting, deleting the preplaced hitpoints, saving it and so on. Before i just deleted the Token from the Token slot and was done. 

Sorry i noticed those are two Problems stemming from the same root problem. That clicking delete only deletes the picture.

Before i just deleted the Token from the Token slot and was done.  I am sorry, I don't quite understand the problem.  If you want to add the hitpoints on the token by hand you can do that, just leave the bar blank.  Whether you are deleting the token and then editing the token to change the hitpoints or you are editing the token to remove the link to the sheet it amounts to about the same work.  If I am missing something here, could you provide some reproduction steps showing how you are using it before vs now?

If this is the problem, you can change that behavior on your campaign settings page.

Okay, I think I finally figured out what my problem is, sorry for the confusion. Before, when you clicked delete token it deleted everything. All data that was saved with the token and basically "emptied" the token slot, set it back to base configuration (when you drag and drop a character without a token it sets the avatar picture as a token). That is what I want to recreate. Resetting the Token slot to base configuration, when there already is a token.

That is what I want to recreate. Resetting the Token slot to base configuration, when there already is a token.  To confirm, the use case for this is to use the Avatar image as a token?  Do you have the avatar image in your art library? If so, you can drag it to where the "Default Token" is. 

And connect it to the charactersheet. The problem is not that I don't know how to recreate the endresult. The problem is that the workaround is quite cumbersome. Before you added in a picture, emtied out the token slot done. Now you have to add in the picture, go in the library, pull the picture from there into a page, select it, go into the tokensettings, search the character sheet in the drag down menu (which when you have a long running champaigne with like 200 sheet in it is a real hassel) and then set it as token in the sheet. Where before it was like two clicks on the same page. That is fine, when you do it for like two creatures. But I sometimes have 25-40 sheets to work with.

Where before it was like two clicks on the same page. That is fine, when you do it for like two creatures. But I sometimes have 25-40 sheets to work with.  I am not understanding your process.  Based on what you said:  1) You said "Before you added in a picture". Add in a picture where? Avatar? Tabletop?  2) You said "emtied out the token slot done" Emptied it from the character? Now the character has no token.  It seems you are missing a lot of steps.  Here is the before and after for me to change the image on an existing token:  Before:  1) Drag image from Art Library, computer desktop, or drag the Character with an Avatar image to the tabletop.  2) Edit token on tabletop to give it the desired settings, save. 3) Edit the Character, remove token (if necessary), select token, click "Use Selected Token", save.  4) (optional) Replace all existing tokens with new token.  After:  1) Edit the Character, drag image from Art Library or computer desktop to the "Default Token". save 2) (optional) click on "Apply Token Defaults" to apply the new image to every instance of this token in your campaign.  It is VASTLY easier. You do not need to redo the token settings.  If you are starting from scratch (not replacing an image) it has the same steps as it did before, with some new options.  Before: 1) Drag image from Art Library, computer desktop, or drag the Character with an Avatar image to the tabletop.  2) Edit token on tabletop to give it the desired settings, save. 3) Edit the Character, select token, click "Use Selected Token", save.  After (new options are bolded): 1) Drag image from Art Library, computer desktop, or drag the Character with an Avatar image to the tabletop OR "Default Token" in the character . 2) Edit token on tabletop OR in the Character to give it the desired settings, save. 3a) If using the old method: edit the Character, select token, click "Use Selected Token", save.  3b) If using the Character method bolded above don't do this at all. You do not need to "Use Selected Token" unless you are creating a token other than size 1.  The only problem with this process is that you cannot use the Avatar image as the token image if there was ever a token associated with the Character, the Devs are aware of this functionality problem. I hope there will be a resolution soon.
