Nesting macro's not usable by players but working for GM

Hello. I attempted to create some nesting macro's to neaten up the token buttons. What I came up with works perfectly for me (the DM). When my players attempt to use these all it produces is text.   For example I have a macro created for this character to attack using his dagger: @{Warbar Weaverbottom|wtype}&{template:atkdmg} {{mod=+6}} {{rname=Dagger}} {{r1=[[@{Warbar Weaverbottom|d20}cs>20 + 3[DEX] + 3[PROF]]]}} @{Warbar Weaverbottom|rtype}cs>20 + 3[DEX] + 3[PROF]]]}} {{attack=1}} {{range=20/60}} {{damage=1}} {{dmg1flag=1}} {{dmg1=[[1d4 + 3[DEX] + 2[MOD]]]}} {{dmg1type=Piercing}} 0 {{dmg2=[[0]]}} {{dmg2type=}} {{crit1=[[1d4[CRIT]]]}} {{crit2=[[6[CRIT]]]}} 0 {{desc=}}   {{spelllevel=}} {{innate=}} {{globalattack=@{Warbar Weaverbottom|global_attack_mod}}} {{globaldamage=[[4d6[Sneak Attack]]]}} {{globaldamagecrit=[[[[ceil((@{Warbar Weaverbottom|base_level})/2) ]]d6[Sneak Attack]]]}} {{globaldamagetype=@{Warbar Weaverbottom|global_damage_mod_type}}} ammo= @{Warbar Weaverbottom|charname_output} I then created the nesting macros under abilities and attributes: /w gm &{template:default} {{name=Warbar Weaverbottom Attacks}}{{=[Hand Crossbow](! #warbarhandcrossbow)[Dagger](! #warbardagger)[Longsword +1](! #warbarmagicsword)[Unarmed Strike](! #warbarunarmed)}} When he clicks on one of the options all it does is place #warbardagger (or name of whichever macro) in the chat. When I use this as the DM it works perfectly.  What am I doing wrong? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you.

If you open up one of the macros in your collections tab and scroll down, do the players have permission to use the macro?
Wow do I feel stupid and yet totally relieved...lol. Yes that was the problem. Simple fix! Thank you so much!!!
