Auto Roll Damage is not enabled for all characters?

Hello! I created a new 5E game and in the Game Settings, I have Auto Damage Roll setting toggled to "Auto Roll Damage & Crit". I expected that when I clicked a PC's weapon it would roll the To Hit and Damage in the same chat message. It was only rolling the To Hit. I looked into the PC's character sheet settings, and I found Auto Damage Roll was set to "Don't Auto Roll Damage". I thought enabling it via the Game Settings would apply it to all characters? It does work when I change the setting on the PC's sheet. But I really do not want to have to go through all the PC and monster sheets and manually enable the roll.

Hi James! It sounds like you missed a step. Setting that feature in Game settings only affects new content (i.e. stuff you drag in from the Compendium in the future.). To apply to existing in-game content, load your game, g o to the settings tab on the right and look under Miscellaneous, where you will find a button that says Apply Default Settings. Press it.  Choose to update the relevant settings. Wait a minute or two for it to resolve; there is a thin easy-to-miss progress bar.
