Universal Macro for Spellcasting for my players Token Actions

Is there an easy to use macro command that I can use for my players where they can access their  spells in a drop down box?  I'm still not great at using these macros yet so i'm sorry if the wording is wrong.  I already have the saving throws/ability/skill checks  (see picture) but I cant seem to get the spells down correctly.  Thanks for your help!  
(I'm assuming you're playing D&D 5th Edition using the 'D&D 5E by Roll20' character sheet) You won't be able to create a 'universal' dropdown for attacks, spells, traits, etc. because those are all built into 'repeating sections' of the D&D 5E by Roll20 character sheet; whereas the ability check and saving throws are a static list that is the same for all characters. Three current options (which all use chat menus instead of query dropdowns): Universal Chat Menu script Token Action Maker script   Universal D&D 5E Statblock Macro Mule   It would be possible for a Mod script to generate a dropdown with only the current spells that are listed on a character's sheet, however I'm not familiar with any scripts that do that currently.

Spells change frequently, sometimes several times during a session. Building a dynamic dropdown would be difficult. Of those scripts, here are my takes: Universal Chat Menu script Powerful, can be leveraged to work with most any sheet, but requires a learning curve to make your own macros that are not listed in the thread. All macros are universal (you don't have to put them on every sheet, but run as chat menus. Requires API at runtime. Token Action Maker script   Very easy commands, macros are created as token action buttons, and once created will run without the need for an API (can transfer to other games) Roll20 uses this script in most modules. However, only works with the 5e and PF2 sheets by Roll20. (I am biased, since it's my script) Universal D&D 5E Statblock Macro Mule   Fiendishly clever and very thorough (created by Jarren, above), but does take some work to set up, particularly if you are not using scripts. Macros created do not use scripts to run and do not have to be installed on every character. Only works with 5e sheet by Roll20.
