Showing the Bio & Info for 2024 (vs 2014) NPC character sheets

With D&D 5e (2014) character sheets, if I click on "Show to Players" while an NPC character sheet is open (regardless of the tab), it will pull up the Bio & Info tab of the character sheet and display it on the screen for all players. With D&D 5e (2024) character sheets, if I click on "Display to Group" while an NPC character sheet is open (regardless of the tab), it will try to pull up the actual character sheet to display to players, which they don't have rights to, so it will throw an ugly "You don't have access" error message on the screen and require them to cliick on the Bio & Info tab to see the picture and color text of the monster / NPC I was trying to show them. Is this intended behavior? Because it sure seems kind of clumsy.
This is partially intended, just not fully built out yet. Legacy sheets have no concept of a "view-only" version of a sheet, so that's why it goes straight to the bio tab. Beacon sheets have the ability to show a subset of the information on a sheet in a view-only way, but it hasn't been fully built out for the 2024 sheet. When we do, the bio & info data will be available on that page as well.
Thanks!
