Problem with Token Action Bar in Copies of Game

My grandchildren and I have been playing Shattered Obelisk sporadically for a couple of years with me as the DM. It's Jumpgate andstarted using the D&D 5E for Roll20 sheets. Because I like to tinker with the game between sessions, I always create a duplicate of the game after every session to experiment on. That has never been a problem in the past but now, when I launch the copy, I'm given a choice between three options: the first is captioned "Recommended: Pick a character sheet" and asks me to choose from what appears to be the old dropdown list. This is helpfully preset to "D&D 5E for Roll20," which is the sheet I have always been using as far as I know. The second is a box captioned "Selected Sheet: D&D 5e (New!) - 2024/2014." This box allows two choices, the first is for "D&D 5E 2024" and the second is for "D&D 5E 2014." The latter says it is for "for legacy content and older Mod Script support." The radio button for the second option is helpfully selected automatically. Since I want to stick with what I've been using, I let the button stay checked and launched the game. Unfortunately, that made some of the buttons in my token action bar inoperable. As an example, while the token action buttons for my rogue’s shortsword and shortbow continued to work fine, the button labeled PCAttacks no longer works at all.  If I press it or the Spells button for my wizard, nothing at all appears in the chat.         It gets even more confusing if I select D&D 5E instead of D&D 5E for Roll20 from the dropdown list. I then get a notice that "content you have selected uses a different sheet than the one set for your game, so we've enabled both sheets for you." This presents me with a bewildering set of additional options whose difference from the choice I've already made is not obvious to me.  Selecting any of them creates the same problem I described above.      What in the world is going on here? I eventually figured out that what I had to do was change the preselected “D&D 5E by Roll20” in the dropdown list to match the D&D 5E 2014 in the radio buttons and ignore everything else, but that sure wasn't obvious.

Hi Tom F.,&nbsp; To clarify, if you have been using the 2014 sheet before then you should select D&amp;D 5e, then select the 2014 sheet.&nbsp; It should not be autoselecting the 2024 sheet at that point, and things should work as they always have.&nbsp; If the above clarification does not fix it could we meet in a Discord call so I can watch and see what is going on?&nbsp; You can reach me via the Roll20 Discord server:&nbsp; <a href="http://discord.gg/roll20" rel="nofollow">http://discord.gg/roll20</a> I am Gauss there, and near the top of the list right below the Roll20 staff (Champion of Roll20).
Thanks for your quick response, but I didn’t really need a remedy for my problem. I guess I just wanted to vent about how confusing Roll20 had made the procedure. The length of my post probably hid the fact I had already found out how to call up the game while keeping the token bar intact. My complaint was that I couldn't simply ask for the "D&amp;D 5E for Roll20" sheet as I always had before and the page itself recommended, but needed to switch to "D&amp;D 5E 2014" as you have correctly pointed out. Thanks again. Your replies are always very helpful.
