Character Sheet Attribute Duplicates

April 25 (1 year ago)

Edited April 25 (1 year ago)

AFAIK this shouldn't be possible, but here we are:

Every time the value of that attribute is changed, it instead creates a new duplicate. I can remove them manually though.

Not that this would be a reasonable task considering the amount of NPCs my campaing has and how long the list of duplicates is RN ...

How are you changing the attribute?  If you are using the api, you might want to post the command you are using.  The command used may be telling it to create the attribute and value instead of simply changing the value of an existing attribute.

I use the settings of the D&D OGL Sheet, the "Apply default settings" feature as well as this script: https://app.roll20.net/forum/permalink/9822005/

Not 100% sure how exactly each influences the sheets specifically, but

  • I'm confident the "Apply Default Settings" featue screwed me over big time, since the issues appear right after I used that. However I could not recreate that so far ... or if I did I coulnld't spot the change ... its ridiculously difficult to tell. Some of the sheets reached over 30 of those duplicates ...
  • manually changing the setting from the sheet seems to be fine, I guess? There are sheets afflicted that I never touched since starting the module.
  • the script appears to do nothing at all???


P.S. I don't expect a fix. Tech support is aware and they can't fix it. But here's hoping someone might have an idea after all ...

This isn't the first time I've seen Apply Default Settings duplicate an attribute. 

Is this a 5e by Roll20 character sheet?

Yes, it is! Any chance anyone found out already how to quickly remove all of the duplicates? I tried to look it up, but no luck ...

By the Gods ... I just used the ChatSetAttr script to spam the attribute deletion command like a mad man. Took about 30 min total, but the game is finally fixed!!!! No more duplicates, no more reverting values.

I remove the duplicates via the Attributes delete button, just clear them out.
Note: I copy the character beforehand in case something gets messed up.
