Radial menu bubbles or bars for Tokens not working, what do I put in these settings?

I've looked all over the internet, looked on the wiki, no where does it actually say what you can put in for these default settings. I want the bubbles above my tokens to show hp, ac, and speed. I am the dm of a 5e game and this used to work but randomly stopped at some point. I have tried a million different things and the most I can get is it sometimes shows the ac. I want to just put the right things in the settings. Here is my current settings and what it is doing, someone please just tell me what to type in to fix this. More specfically I want to change the list of settings in the game settings so that I do not have to manually change/enter stuff in the little token settings window each time I drop a new token on the map. (paid roll20 account if that matters)

Hi scrimdougy,  Those settings often cause people confusion. They are not settings for setting up tokens in the game. They are settings for the Compendium when you drag compendium creatures into the game.  You can find that information in the 'smaller print' under each Bar statement, such as "Bar 1 Value".  Was the token dragged from the Compendium or are you manually setting it up?  If manually setting it up, simply type the health in Bar 1, the AC in Bar 2.  If it is for a PC then you can link the attributes to "hp" and "ac". Do not do that for NPCs or when you change the health on one NPC itll change the health on other NPCs of the same type.  After you have set up the token the way you want make sure you edit the character the token belongs to and click "Use Selected Token" to save that token to the character.

For NPCs, please note that you have to select npc_ac for the armor class. HP still stays hp.

Ralph said: For NPCs, please note that you have to select npc_ac for the armor class. HP still stays hp. Generally it is not a good idea to connect an NPC's Bar attributes to hp or npc_ac. If you change it for one NPC you change it for all of them.  Example, if you have an Orc with a shield and sword and an Orc with a bow (cannot use his shield and sword) you might change the AC on the Orc with the Bow.  If that bar is connected to npc_ac then it changes it for all Orcs, even those still using their shield and sword.  Similarly, if you connect hp then when you change the hp bar on one Orc it changes them on all Orcs.  For NPCs it is better to leave it just a number, unconnected to the Attribute.

Hi scrimdougy! It shouldn't be required, but you might need to apply defaults in the in-game settings. You can find that under miscellaneous in the right sidebar. Be sure to look out for the very easy-to-miss progress bar. Also, make sure that you do not already have any creatures already in the game that have the same name. A Compendium drop will never overwrite an existing sheet in your game (to protect any homebrew changes). If this is the case, delete the existing creature and try a new compendium drop.
I reset default settings on the right bar for BAR 1 VALUE/MAX/LINK and BAR 2 VALUE/MAX/LINK from default character sheet settings and Bar 1/2/3 text overlay for Maps and Backgrounds, Objects and tokens, and GM info and overlay and it's still the same. showing ac in the blue circle but not even saying it is ac in the tokens setting window under attribute. Is there anyway someone could just set these settings for me or tell me exactly what to do? I am at a loss here and I don't know why these things used to show for me. Also last night changes I made to a token directly changed a PCs character sheet, it changed his ac to his current hp, and deleted his max hp and current hp from the sheet.

Scrimdougy, perhaps there is a misunderstanding here.  When you change all the settings, are you then dragging something from the Compendium?  Or are you trying to change tokens that were previously dragged from the compendium? Regarding the issues in your last post, could you supply pictures of what you are seeing? Such as token settings?
