Optional 2024 Ruleset

It would be very, very nice to have the option  to have the 2024 ruleset automatically put into the compendium.  While using the 5e original sheet, if you drag an entire spell list onto the sheet it doesn't work anymore because the sheet doesn't support the 2024 ruleset which means you have to manually add every spell like the old days.  Is there another way around this I'm missing? If so, please let me know! Edit: To be clear, I suggestion an option so we can OPT OUT of having the 2024 ruleset in our compendium.

Hi Roman,  Roll20 made a specific design decision to not have the 2024 Compendium backwards compatible with the D&D 5e 2014 by Roll20 character sheet.  They decided that they wanted to support the Beacon style character sheets going forward, and that requires a completely different Compendium structure that is not compatible with the D&D 5e 2014 by Roll20 character sheet.  Unfortunately, it is my understanding that the D&D 5e 2014 by Roll20 character sheet has code that is the equivalent of "held together by duct tape"  that updating it to take both compendiums would probably not end well.  Personally, I would have liked to have seen a brand new D&D 5e 2014/2024 by Roll20 character sheet in the 2014 sheet's style. But, they gave us the current D&D 5e 2024 by Roll20 sheet based on Beacon instead. Hopefully itll become usable someday.  With all that said, I have been using the 2024 rules on the D&D 5e 2014 sheet. What I did is create sheets for each class, putting the 2014 spells on each sheet, then updating those spells to their 2024 counterparts.  Next I spin off copies of each sheet for my players. Player wants a Cleric? I spin off a copy of the Cleric sheet. 
HA! Duct tape. Yeah that explains it to a T actually. But I still love that sheet very much. Seen us through many, many games.  I would have thought they'd be able to make a toggle for it. Want the 2024 stuff in here? Y/N.  I gotta say it's a real pain in the behind for drag and drop.
