Help! Monsters won't import from the Compendium??

Hiya! I discovered the compendium relatively recently, and have absolutely loved using it! However, I keep hitting an issue where some of the monsters simply WILL NOT import. Why is that? How do I fix it?

Which system, and sheet?

D&D 5e, OGL sheet. Also I have the Monster Manual, if that helps.

Hmm, ok, I'm not involved with that sheet, but the devs/mods will need to know some example monsters to test
Well, the one that came up most recently was the Roc. There have been several others that don't import, but I can't remember which ones.

If the monster is not part of the SRD then the compendium won't contain the monster.
Wouldn't that make it so that I can't search it in the Compendium?

Maybe.The monster manual and Volv's is integrated into the compendium and might show up in a search but to access their contents I think you have to purchase them in the roll20 format (owning the physical book doesn't count for accessing it on roll20).

Yes I have purchased in Roll20. I will do some screen snips to show. so here you can see that it appears when I search the compendium. here's me dragging Giant Crocodile onto the map (this one works, and creates a window depicted in the following snip) All of this is how it should be working, right? But the Roc won't (and neither will the regular Crocodile)
It looks like you don't have a token set as a the default for the giant crocodile, the image on there is a portrait image, hit edit and see if there is actually a default token, anything from the compendium will not have these by default
The giant crocodile is fine. It shows up as a token with the HP and everything. It's the Roc and others that aren't working .
It looks like the 5th Edition (Community Contributed)* doesn't support importing from the compendium. I really like that character sheet, though. Is there an existing workaround so that I don't have to generate a ton of monster content or switch back to the D&D 5e, OGL sheet? I checked the  Wiki  and there isn't any mention of importing. *[Authors:John Myles (Actoba on Roll20.net, @jmyles85 on Twitter)}
