As the tilted says. I have tried in several different campaigns as well as single target and multi targets. Clicking the apply effects asterisk after saves are made doesn't do anything. Hoping I'm just being a bone head.

Apply All Effects will only do something if there is automation in the ability that has save success levels attached to them, and you've previously rolled save results for that ability.
The Apply All Effects button appears if there is anything in the automation field for the ability - even if that something has nothing to do with a save. It would be too complex to try to parse out the automation in run-time to determine if there's a fully operational set of automation - so all the ruleset code does is display the button if there's some automation fields and the button being present doesn't necessarily mean that there's automation tied to it.
Here's an example of the Gorilla from Bestiary 1 - the campaign option Show Ability Automation Field has been set to on to show this code - but you don't need to do this for the code to operate.
1) There's automation for a save for this ability. This is needed to tie the save results to this creature and this ability.
2) There are a number of effects that have a success level in their text - this is used to match save results from #1 when the Apply All Effects button is pressed.

@Bolorokenpay: It only works if you have someone targeted with the respective creature. And for player effects the save result has to be set properly, otherwise FG doesn't know in which case when to apply them.

Thanks for the responses. The example you showed Trenloe is what I was expecting when I was trying to figure it out. I thought that spells had been updated with automation, and the AP I am using doesn't have "save state" automation added, that's why I couldn't figure it out, I thought I was missing a setting but I was missing the actual automation, lol.
