Broken Macro

Ok, on the server I play on they use a vault to keep the players characters. Everything is up dated on the sheet. I do the updates then I would del. my old char. from my personnel char. list in Roll20 then re-import the new char on my Roll20. When a came is called to start we are asked to import into one of 4 servers. When I do all of my weapon break and will not work. They work fine in the main vault page. What can be causing the macro to break when I do a import to another server. This has happen on at least 3 different char. 

If the macro is set to use a character or token id, that might break. I can't remember if the Vault issues a new id to an import. Can you post the text of a macro that is breaking? And also tell how it was created: manually, or through an API script.

I roll the weapon from the sheet, Then in the output box i hit the up arrow that will display the code for that roll. Then copy it for the macro.

Not sure if it is the issue, but any time I have had characters with special characters in the name it has caused issues with some macros/API.

In the above example, replace "-MiOawcg4z83ccBd_fFX" with the character's name. This will prevent any problem that comes with re-assigning an id. Also, Kilter is spot on in pointing out that control characters in names can cause issues: ()[]{}@$%&, etc.

Also this is the new string. This button, even if you fixed the repeating rows call and put in the actual attack stats, is still going to break the second your PB or your ability mod changes as its directly manually calling the stats at the time you made the button and not using scaleable attribute calls like @{CharName|dexterity_mod}[DEX] and @{CharName|pb}[PROF].  You also need to put this in the mod field which is set to a flat +5 at the start of the template, which is a noteable issue with the 5e ogl sheet, it does this to mod entries and it does it to spell save dc entries at the bottom of spell templates which leads to misleading mods/spellcards in gameplay often.  

Would someone be willing to make up the right Marco if I send them my char. I can do a vault import if need be.
