I am working with one of my players who is receiving some console errors, and I'm not savvy enough to understand the console logs to fix their issue. The console error occurs when they click to open a link to a shared NPC record. They play a druid and I provide them links in their Wild Shape effect descriptions to the respective Beast stat blocks for reference. We are both running the latest version of FGU and in a 5e 2024 campaign. I am not seeing any errors on my system, even when I replicate the steps.

This is the error that is generated in my player's instance of FGU: [ERROR] Script execution error: [string "CoreRPG:..n/scripts/buttongroup_counter.lua"]:156: setValue: Unable to create node

I've uploaded the compiled logs as well. Can someone help me identify the root cause? Thanks!

There are comments in the base CoreRPG ruleset code at the point that error occurs (in buttongroup_counter.lua) indicating a TODO to check for the owner of the record - as a player will never own campaign records, the error is occurring. I'm not exactly sure what is triggering the buttongroup_counter code, so don't know if it is an issue - but unless this the result of the error is also blocking functionality, you can ignore the error as a player instance of FG can't make changes to NPC records.

Yes, there were issues that were caused by handling that any other way; which means that template can only be used in limited scenarios.
(i.e. only in situations where records can be assumed to be fully owned by player, such as PCs, etc.)

Looking at the 5E ruleset; I don't see any uses of buttongroup_counter anywhere but in the PC sheet; so it sounds like maybe you have an extension running?

As this error message is only seen on one of my player's system, I'm not sure which of my extensions are passed on to the client; but here are the extensions that I'm using on the host system:

Moon Tracker by bmos
Aura Effect by bmos
5e Legendary Assistant by Stv
Mad Nomad's MNM Core by Mad Nomad
Mad Nomad's Coin Manager by Mad Nomad
5E Extension: Better Combat Effects Gold by Grimlore
Life Ledger by rhagelstrom
Encounter Difficulty Calculator by lesliev

I try to only use a minimal number of extensions that I value for Quality of Life in FGU.

Based on a former thread, I'm guessing that it might be Life Ledger...? That extension modifies the NPC stat blocks to add Death Saving Throws, HD, and Adj./Temp HP fields when the NPC is added to the Combat Tracker. However, the client receives the error message when the NPC record is opened outside of the CT.

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience or bandwidth to test and debug third party extensions. You can start a second instance on your machine to connect to yourself as a player, and see which extension is doing it. If I were to guess, possibly Legendary Assistant or Life Ledger; but really have no idea.
