Converting to new OGL character sheets

I've been playing on roll20 since early 2015 and I have a game that I use for adventure league modules with almost the entire monster manual as well as many custom creatures used in the modules. Is there an easy way to convert them all to the new OGL character sheet without having to edit every one of them?
It might help if you told us what character sheet you are currently using?
No, I'm pretty much in the same boat. I have hundreds of creatures made up in my game with the community contributed sheet and have done a few test conversions by copying the campaign and they don't go well. You really are better off just starting fresh and dragging and dropping from the MM or compendium. As a pro subscriber there more options for importing stuff, but from my experience converting isn't a great idea.

The 5e OGL sheet has Transition Options that allow for individual Characters to be easily converted from two other D&D 5e Sheets: Community Contributed <a href="https://app.roll20.net/sheet-previews/dnd5e.png" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/sheet-previews/dnd5e.png</a> Shaped Legacy <a href="https://app.roll20.net/sheet-previews/dnd5eshaped.jpg" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/sheet-previews/dnd5eshaped.jpg</a> An API Script like ChatSetAttr could probably initiate this conversion process for every Character in a Game using a single chat command. (As always, don't forget to make a Copy of your Game before experimenting with large changes to your Game!)

It will not work with Shaped v2 and beyond which is any sheet created in over a year.
