Adding a note here, mostly for our own reference. Short version is "we're working on it, but we might need to wait for a system issue to be solved".

The new MM2024 introduced this new cool way of setting up what is basically an Innate Spellcasting feature (even though it's called just Spellcasting), by adding the spells as Cast activities in the feature itself. In theory, the spellbook is automatically populated as if these were spells granted by a magic item.

While the current work done on this issue sets us up to work with that style, there seems to be an issue/strange behavior in the system where the spellbook is not correctly populated for unlinked tokens (and we use their original _prepareSpellbook, so same for us). We'll have to keep an eye on that.

@Aioros Is this related to this issue: https://github.com/foundryvtt/dnd5e/issues/5316?

Yep, even though I didn't dive deep enough to know what exactly changed or what exactly is breaking it.

As long as they are aware, I think we can give this some time and it should mostly fix itself on our end when they solve it. In the meantime the spells can still be cast by using the Spellcasting feature itself, we would just be missing the spell list itself in the sheet.

Looks like dnd5e v4.3.6 fixed the issue above, and I can confirm that our planned fix solves the rest for MonsterBlocks.
