Default Token Bar 1-3 Linked?

I have been messing with settings, searching the web, and reading the help pages for the last hour. I hope someone can help or put my mind to rest and tell me it just can't be done. Under Game Settings - There are settings for the Bar 1, Bar 2, Bar 3 Also under Game Settings - Game Default Setting - There are settings for Bar 1, Bar 2, Bar 3. As well as Nameplate. What I want to do is set default so when a character is created its settings are auto that Bar 1 is ac, bar 2 is passive_wisdom, and bar 3 is hp, and the token has a nameplate. Seems easy enough but no matter what I do I have not been able to get it to work, even when nameplate is checked under Game Settings - Game Default Setting. It does not show and no matter what changes other then manually changing each sheets token, I can't get the bars to display anything. So, please and thank you to anyone that can help.
Inside your campaign you need to go to the Misc Section and hit "Apply Default Settings". There, you need to set everything you want to be set automatically and click on ok. Wait for it to finish and everything should be fine.
Thank you! I went to Game Settings - Game Default Setting - Turned on nameplate. Went into game and hit Apply Default Settings and finally nameplate was there. Thank you again. I still need to know where (Game Settings or Game Default Setting) and how to get Bar 1-3 to display AC/Passive_wisdom/HP. Game Default Settings seems to only take numbers and I have tried Game Settings, even the default hp_max does not work in Bar 1 Value/Bar 1 Max. I drag over a new character and nameplate works but bar 1-3 remain blank. Even after Apply Default Settings.

Hi Taxel,  There is no universal setting to set token bars' attributes.  The Game Settings settings you are referencing ("Bar 1 Value/Bar 1 Max") is for the Compendium only. (Note the fine print underneath the settings).  To set up a token to display AC or Passive_wisdom or HP edit the token, then on the dropdown menu for the bar (Attributes) select the desired option. 
I was talking with another dm and got it figured out. I was editing every token, every map, as I dragged them to starting locations. You have to edit the settings on by bringing up the character sheet from the side menu. Once you edit it there its set for all maps you drag token to. Still have to do it once per sheet but that's a lot better then what I was doing.
