Issue with 'Shift+click to open journal page' on token

Hey guys. Having a problem with the journal system, that I began setting up recently. I've created a character page for a monster (Giant Spider), linked a specific token to it, then placed that token in game. To my understanding, if I shift+double click on the token, it should now open that Journal page, but it doesn't seem to be working.  The weird thing is, it is working for some of the tokens I've placed, but not others. I'm positive I'm placing them in the same way, and it's coming from the same entry on my journal, but for some reason, it's just not working. Does anyone know what I'm doing wrong? 
Hi, Nathan, it's probably the order of actions in setting up the token.  There is a wiki on it with details, but basically you need to place the token, set it up exactly the way you want it, and only then link it to the character sheet as the default token.  You can also delete it from the sheet, set it up, and then reload it.  Basically it only "remembers" what was set up before it became attached to the character sheet. This includes editing the token to represent the character BEFORE attaching it as the default token from the sheet. hope this helps - V
Hello Nathan S., Please try what Valerie M. stated. You can also find more information on the Linking Tokens to Journals Wiki page.   Let us know if you need additional assistance.
Ah, okay, I think I get it now. It just works a little differently from how I had expected it to. Cool, thanks!
Thanks for updating us Nathan that your issue is resolved.  If you need further help, let us know.
