Are token functions broken?

Simple and basic. Character sheets are programmed, I link the token to the character sheet and then set the 3 bars to 3 defenses, but the token doesn't pull any information from the sheets. I save the token and set the token as the default for the character sheet, drop a new one on the board and it's still not pulling the information from the sheet. I've tried this many times over and the only method of getting the token to display the correct information is to manually enter it.  Additionally when I set the character sheet to be controlled by a player, the player can drag the token on the map, but can't control it. The only method I can give them control is if I change the token settings & break it's connection to the character sheet & manually give the player control. And yes I have confirmed that the players are capable of editing the character sheets for the tokens they're supposed to control. Now in order to hopefully skip some of the standard questionnaire, and I genuinely do not intend to come off as rude. I'm merely clarifying because text does not clarify intent otherwise. Yes I know how to program the tokens, I've logged like 4,000 hours on here, at least 3,000 of which is as the GM. I'm currently doing this for M&M 3e, I've programmed tokens for multiple other M&M 3e games as well as D&D 3.5 & never had this problem. If an admin/moderator is able to get involved, it's my game M&M 3e Training Grounds. If another member has experienced this and knows a solution, please educate me, I really wanna bury this problem.

I am not familiar with the M&amp;M 3e sheet, and you do not say which attributes you are trying to link to tokens, but it looks like the sheet uses a number of auto-calculating fields for attributes. Autocalculating fields are an older technique that sheets used before we had sheetworkers, and they are not as robust. It does appear that a recent change on Roll20's end has broken the linking of autocalc values to tokens. Roll20 is looking into this and will try to address it. See here: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8427520/token-bars-not-syncing-up-with-values/" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/8427520/token-bars-not-syncing-up-with-values/</a> You may want to follow that thread. Edit: As for player control, be sure that players are dragging out their characters from the Journal by name. What happens if you drag out the token for them? Can they control it then?
Well M&amp;M the linking is easy. Toughness is a defense and there's literally only one entry on the entire sheet that says toughness...But The number in toughness on the sheet does not get put onto the token.&nbsp; Controlling tokens doesn't matter who drags it, we had 5 copies of one character because myself, the other GM &amp; the player had been dragging them on the board, only GMs could control them. And considering the player had editing rights to the sheet it honestly shouldn't matter because it has never mattered in the past.
