Setting NPC Tokens to None/Generic and updating Default Token

So I've looked around quite a bit and didn't find what I was looking for though it is possible I was overlooking it. I've looked at ChatSetAttr and TokenMod and couldn't quite get what I was looking for. I am trying to be able to set the "Represents Character" field to None/Generic Token and then update the default token. Currently I am having to do this manually for ever NPC I drag from the compendium to keep it from changing all of tokens of that NPC's health when they take damage.

I am hoping there is a more automated way of doing this, even if I have to have the NPC selected it at least speeds up the process, if I can do all NPCs at once that's even better. I feel like it should be possible between ChatSetAttr and TokenMod I just haven't figured out how to do it.

If this is the central issue, you are likely making things harder on yourself than you need to. Tokens can be set up to avoid this issue. Here are some links:

Here is the wiki article on Linking Tokens to Journals

Here is a video which demos the procedure

Ah you are correct looks like I was making things harder on myself than they needed to be by putting them all to None/Generic Token instead of paying attention to Bar 1. Thank you kindly good sir.
