When the trinket Tyrande's Favorite Doll is equipped, every time you cast a spell you gain the buff Recaptured Mana that holds up to 4200 points of mana. I'm trying to make a progress bar that shows the percent of mana recaptured (out of 4200) but I can't get the information or for the bar to progress currently. In Display I have Orientation set to Right to Left, Inverse checked, and Progress Source set to Manual with "Set Maxmium Progress" set to 4200. Trigger is set to Aura > Player > Buff, Exact Spell ID is set to 92596 (the ID of recaptured mana), Own Only is checked, and I've tried Shown On set to Always and set to Aura(s) found. Is there something I'm missing to do it?

Don't use exact spell ID, just put the ID into "names" in the trigger
Click "fetch tooltip info" in the trigger
Then in the display tab for progress source set it to trigger 1 -> tooltip1
And yeah, set max to 4200

ahh ok, thanks!

Using exact spell ID is only very rarely relevant, and it'll fail if you got the wrong one on accident.
And yeah, it needs to know where to get the progress info from. If you set it to manual like you did, then you'd have to manually assign values.
But with "fetch tooltip info" you can use the first number found in the tooltip (tooltip1), which in this case is the stored mana

thanks, that makes perfect sense
yep, all of that fixed it!
one last thing - I remember in wrath there was a page floating around in a weakaura wiki (on github maybe?) about tips and tricks, and one of the tricks was a custom function to show percent value in a progress bar. Do you happen to know where that page is now? I couldn't find it but would like the bar to show % of mana filled

Click on the ⚙️ (says "format" next to it) near the text in the display tab
Check if there's a way to format it as % by default

not that i can see
I see %p/%s which look the closest but they give the actual value or nothing

If it's not there, then change your text to %c. Go to the custom text function, put in:
function()
if aura_env.state and aura_env.state.tooltip1 then
return (aura_env.state.tooltip1 / 42) .. "%"
end
end
It could be that it throws an error if tooltip1 is actually a string and not a number
We'll see. If that's the case then that's easy to fix though
