A feature to swap the token art for monsters without having to use the homebrew tool would be a nice addition to support the new monster manual for a couple of reasons. First is that we have base templates for things like "toughs" and "bandits" which can be of any race, and the lazy DM method of dealing with that would be an art swap without changing the stat block. The other reason would be backwards compatibility: Some monsters were given art showcasing male and female variants resulting in some tokens - such as the dryad, succubus, and satyr - now having token art of the opposite sex. Anyone using the current tools to adjust an earlier adventure or a 3rd party adventure to 2024 stats would need to create dups of those monsters using the homebrew creation tools to swap the art to match the adventure.
Between those two use cases, a portrait selector for the monsters would eliminate work and duplicate monster entries.
YES! I was going to comment this. Being able to change the art associated with a stat block on Maps and the Extras tab on character sheets would be so helpful.
