[BUG] Monster tokens have persistent "Auto Roll Damage" after dropping into Journal

Hello! Just filing a bug report, hope this is the right forum to do it! So exact steps I did were: While having the game launched in another tab, in the campaign settings I changed my Auto Damage Roll setting from "Don't auto damage roll" to "do auto roll damage and crit" in addition to changing a bunch of other settings. Then in the same session of the game without closing it, I dragged the centaur monster into the game area, effectively putting it into my journal. Then when I clicked on any of it's attacks they only rolled the "to hit" die, not any damage dice. I then reloaded the game tab, and used the monster attacks from its character sheet again but it didn't work. I tried changing back and forth the auto roll damage setting a few times and reloading the game tab a few times but to no avail. I then dragged another monster (Young Black Dragon) onto the game (with the settings set&nbsp;to "Auto Roll Damage") and this finally rolled both to hit and damage dice at once. But the centaur moves still only roll to hit dice when I click on them so it seems like the setting persisted to whatever it was when the character sheet was created. I then deleted the Centaur character sheet from my journal and re-added it, and now it rolls the to hit and damage dice just fine. P.S. See this post from a year ago for the exact opposite bug:&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5080754/slug%7D" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5080754/slug%7D</a>
Changing the Game Settings (outside of the VTT) only causes the change to affect new characters added to the game. I imagine this also means that any running instances of the game need to be reloaded for this to take effect. Changing the Game Settings has no impact on existing character sheets, only ones created after the change. To affect existing character sheets, you must click the "Apply Default Settings" button that is under Experiment Features in the Player Settings (Chat Window - Cog wheel tab, towards the bottom of the window). This button will update every existing character sheet (including player character sheets) with the default settings specified in the Game Settings. If a change was not meant for the PC character sheets, you will have to manually change the setting on each of the player character sheets back to what they were prior to the change.
