Monster Manual Drag & Drop Issue

Currently, when using the drag and drop feature from the Monster Manual to generate NPCs, many of the actions with descriptions are not being properly populated. For example: a Stirge has the action to 'Blood Drain', which deals 1d4+3 damage. This is what appears under Actions in Roll20 after dragging and dropping it into the game. However, the Stirge after using 'Blood Drain', remains "attached, [and] the stirge doesn't attack. Instead, at the start of each of the stirge's turns, the target loses 5, 1d4 + 3, hit points due to blood loss." This description does NOT appear with the Action. As a result, using a Token Action macro loses a lot of information. This occurs with several different monsters I've tested. 


Action in Biography

Action under 'Character Sheet'


Reproduce:

  1. Open the compendium.
  2. Search for Stirge (or any affected monster) in the compendium.
  3. Drag the monster onto your map.
  4. Open the character sheet for the monster.
  5. Observe the lack of description for specific actions.

    I have had this issue as well. When dropping a Drow Shadowblade into my game from the compendium (MToF) its Shadow Sword attack didn't add the description. Had to go back and manually add it. Started having this issue around 4pm EST on Wednesday and still have it, regardless of which game I try it in.

    Confirmed, both for Stirge and Drow Shadowblade. I'll file a report on D&D 5th Edition by Roll20

    I found the bug and patched it. The update will go out with the normal deployment schedule this Tuesday. My apologies for the inconvenience.
