I want to make a attribute for the token bars for a sp meter for my persona campaign so it can change with every token on any map when I change it kinda like the hp, but when I make the custom attribute I cannot set it in the token bars on tokens. Could someone help please
Hi Winter :3!
Hm. I would have thought for sure that was possible. What sheet is this? If it's the D&D 5e (2014) Sheet, then you can link to one of the first two resource fields. If it's the D&D 5e (2024) Sheet, you'd hve to look for one of the exposed attributes that isn't being used. Not sure how much luck you;'d have there. Same with any of the other sheets, you'll have to find an available attribute you don't want to use for anything else. Not all attributes can be linked. This will take experimentation.
Hi Winter :3,
Which character sheet are you using? If you don't know the name please supply a screenshot.
Additionally, a screenshot of your custom attribute might help.
Please open the character, click Advanced Tools, then click Attributes and take and post a screenshot.

I can't test the beacon 2024 sheet right now, but at least outside that, you can link custom attributes to token bars - no need to repurpose an existing attribute. Repeating rows can't be linked, though - not without breaking stuff and causing permanent damage to the sheet.
That said, the 2024 sheet is weird with attributes. If no-one gets to it before then, I'll check on this tomorrow.

This is what the attribute looks like
Please don't crop your screenshots, it removes valuable context. Please provide a full screenshot of your Attributes.
Alright, I checked and reproduced the issue, the Beacon sheet does not allow custom attributes to be linked to token bars. That's another strike for those sheets, I think I've lost count by now how many that is. But, you can link it to no attribute, fill the values manually, and call for the token bar values in macros if needed - for example, @{selected|bar2}/@{selected|bar2|max} (not that the order the bubbles show above the tokens is 1,3,2, not 1,2,3, so bar2 is the rightmost bubble).
I think the OP is asking for an attribute so that it can be tracked across instances: multiple tokens that all reference a common value. Unlinking the bar wouldn't help here. And I agree that it's a failing of the Beacon sheet and should be reported.
This was mentioned back on Jan 4th on the Roll20 Discord, but I don't think the Devs chimed in on that conversation to acknowledge the problem. I second-ify (third-ify?) the "file a ticket" suggestion.
How would I file a ticket? because it would be amazing if this was fixed I don't want to keep changing all the counter manually on every map or copying and pasting tokens just to get the SP counter correct
