Struggling with Chat Menus and Dropdowns

Hello folks =) I've a bit of a tizzle and I've tried figuring it out on my own, googling, checking repositories... I'm tapped out! I'm currently trying to add a token macro for each of my players that pops a Chat Menu with buttons. Each button opens a dropdown macro, the options in each just prints out some text or a chat template with text. The dropdown macros are stored in a non-public character, PRef Right now it works perfectly for me, the GM. However, it doesn't work at all for the players. They can get the menu buttons to work fine, but when they click on any option... I see this on the chat as they click each option. Player: PRef|Firearm-Properties PRef|Firearm-Properties PRef|Gear-List PRef|Spell-List It looks like code is failing to interpret the button macro. But if I test the very same macros as a GM, they work. If I make "PRef" visible, it still doesn't work. If I relaunch as a Player, the macros work for me -- but only for me!
In order to use an ability from a character sheet, the player in question has to be listed as having Edit and Control access. You don’t have to make it visible to them however. 
Ahh, this is great! Thanks a ton, this makes a lot of sense as I was still editor of PRef.
This topic is solved!
