Bought a D&D Adventure: Any way to de-link AC from Bar 2 globally?

After I upgraded my subscription to Plus, I was looking into getting a map for the Hidden Shrine of Tamoachan and decided to go ahead and buy the adventure to see how the premade content works in Roll20. After adding it into my campaign, I noticed that Bar 2 is linked to monster AC. I use the bar for something different (temp hp) and it's distracting to see an irrelevent number pop up there for monsters. Is there anyway to make that go away other than manually changing it on every single token? I tried changing the game defaults and then using the "Apply Defaults" setting, but it didn't touch the Bar 2 link. That being said, I'm not sure if that method even applies to NPCs, due to the part of the game settings where those settings are. And if it does apply, I still probably didn't enter values that would be useful. Is it possible to de-link Bar 2 (and erase the value) on all of those tokens somehow without manually doing it for each one?
As a Pro use you can use a API script (TokenMod), but as a Plus user i think you need to do it manually. I would then - when in a spell of uninspiredness - just spend 15 minutes prep time and fix them all by hand.

In the game settings before you launch the game you can change token default settings - this won't affect any tokens already on the canvas, but it will affect new tokens dragged from the compendium. This is probably the best option, as long as all the monsters you need are available to drag and drop. Inside the game, in settings right down the bottom, there is another default options override which will change every token in the game. I've never used it, but it seems like it will override every token on every page.

But with my combination of a slow connection and an old computer, that proved to be overly optimistic.

That's what I tried, but unless there are some variables that will make it work, it doesn't. Both settings? The way to affect all tokens in the game is to: - Go to the pre-launch game settings via website. Change Bar2_link to hp_temp (if this is 5e) in default token settings - Save changes and launch the game - Go to the settings tab in the chat/journal frame, right down the bottom is an Apply Default Settings button in Experimental Features - Click on that, one of the options will be "Bar2_link", but only if you did step 1, then launched the game - Check the Bar2_link box and Apply .... you'll get a progress bar that could take a bit of time depending on number of tokens Is this what you already did? Just checking because if you only did the first bit, it makes no changes to existing tokens.

Yeah I see the problem. The default token settings don't have the bar links in there to change. The bar link default settings are only for new Compendium drag & drops. I've got no idea why those options are absent from the default settings. Looks like the slow way, sorry!
