Issue with Token Bar Values for hp, class_resource Not Displaying Properly (Roll20 5E OGL NPC sheet)

Every time I try to drag PC character tokens to the board (most of them have AC, class_resource, and hp linked to token bars), the values of these bars are reset to some old values.

For example, currently, a character has, say 81/81 hp in character sheet. When the token is dragged, its hp value is shown as 30/65. When I select "hp" again in token bar options, it then sets to correct amount for that page. But each page I have to do the same thing again. For each character.

I've tried remaking tokens multiple times, but it always resets to some weird values, not even the ones that were present when making the tokens. This began earlier this year, maybe spring/summer, but it's still present and it drives me insane.

Any ideas?

Could you please describe your steps for "remaking tokens multiple times"? Perhaps there is a step you are skipping.

It might have something to do with the way resources are updated and came with the latest changes... e.g. resources are only loaded if needed (Operation Firebold I think it was called)... This was earlier this year.

Though the recent changes regarding tokens and tokenbars might come into play here, too...


Try the following: After you update a token to the correct values (by opening the respective character sheet at least once), try linking the updated token to the sheet again ("Edit" on the Character Sheet and then select "Use selected Token"). This should save the updated token to the sheet and when dragging it on other maps it should have the correct values...

Thank you both, I'll try this once more later, keeping in mind to open character sheet at least once first. Fingers crossed.

Remaking tokens steps:
1) Choose a picture, drag it on the board.
2) Choose "represent characters" as chosen character
3) Set name, sight, auras if any, etc.
4) Choose attributes from a dropdown to token bars, namely "AC, CLASS_RESOURCE, and HP)
5) Open character sheet (edit) while that token is selected.
6) Remove the old token, select new token as default.
