When creating a monster, I copy and paste existing monsters. Under abilities they often have an output window with the saves etc that I can't edit from the GUI. Is there a way of updating the chat window to reflect the new change to saves or abilities? For the life of me I can't figure it out.63339

That's not part of the standard UI for 5E NPCs. Are you running any extensions?

Yes, so that makes sense then.

That looks like the Equipped Effects extension, with Automatic Effects modules loaded. To modify that box's content, you'd need (if I remember correctly) to search for the corresponding ability name ("Whelm" in this case, probably "Whelm_NPC" or a similar format) from the Spells window. You're likely going to have to drag that ability in the Actions tab of a character, edit it, then drag back into the Spells window and replace the existing one.
