Skill Labels disappear after editing

[brazzam]

The labels for Skill modifiers disappear after editing any information on the statblock, e.g. HP.

The labels stay missing after closing and reopening the statblock.

Opening the "Sheet" selection window and re-selecting Monster Blocks and therefore reloading the statblock will bring them back. However, they will disappear again on the next edit.

On load:

The issue, shown after editing HP:

I am using Foundry 10 (Build 291), the latest dnd5e Game System, and the current Monster Blocks module (3.3.5)

What... I thought I got that fixed. Not sure why it's intermittent. I'll have to take another look.

Can confirm, still happening sometimes (but not always)

[zeel01]

Are you getting any errors along with this? Are there specific steps that can always reproduce the issue?

[brazzam]

As for errors, I don't get any errors on the canvas itself, but the console goes wild, even when just opening a statblock with Monster Blocks. Then, more errors will appear when the issue actually occurs.

As for repeatability, for me this is infinitely repeatable, it happens every time. Just open a stat block, edit something, and the labels disappear. This happens with HP changes, editing a feature, anything. I've also tried it on every statblock in my current world, and it happens to all of them.

And once the issue presents itself, closing and opening the statblock does not resolve the issue. The only way I've found to make the labels return is to hit the "[Gear Icon] Sheet" button and then hit "Save Sheet Configuration".

I recorded a video showcasing the issue: Monster Blocks Issue

Notes:

• I used "Find the culprit" to turn off all other modules except for Mosnter Blocks and Math.js.
• I opened the console to view errors.
• There were too many errors to show all of them, so I tried to scroll through to give you a sample. If there is a specific error you need me to find, let me now.

I'm able to reproduce this consistently by showing and then hiding the biography.

Will there be an update regarding this soon? This module is such a time saver as a DM and it's my preferred sheet for all my NPCs/Monsters, but the skill labels disappearing with every edit is such a hassle. And only fixable on my end by constantly switching back and forth between the default sheet to the monster blocks sheet.

Yeah, I've worked on this a few times. There are some pretty problematic underlying issues that are tricky to tackle. I thought I had this fixed a few times, and then found new problems. It's definitely still high priority, it's just a weirdly hard problem due to some things that changed in the system/Foundry, and I haven't had a lot of time.

@zeel01 Thanks for your work hunting down the issue!

@coolfox09 in the meantime, the quickest way I’ve found to reset the statblock is to hit the “[gear icon] Sheet” button on the top right of the sheet, and then immediately click the “Save Sheet Configuration” button on the popup. This way, you dont have to wait on the sheet to swap to the Default Sheet and back and is a fraction of time shorter/less annoying.

@zeel01 Thank you so much Josh! Glad to hear it's being worked on at all. The bright side is it's still funcitonal and works great and not totally broken and we appreciate evertyhing you're doing and the time spent on the module!!!

@brazzam thank you! i'll definitely be doing that to restore it quicker :)
