Initiative macros no longer working today (worked fine last night)

So this morning I noticed that the bBasic Initiative macro code we've always used: /em is prepared. [[1d20+@{init} &{tracker}]] Is no longer adding any of my players to the turn tracker. Did something change today? We had our game last night with no problems.

The &{tracker} macro option only works if you have a token selected.
Yeah, that's lifted from a token macro, which is used when selected.

Same thing's happened to me today. Everything worked fine yesteray, and now today my Initiative Macros won't add my tokens to the Turn Tracker anymore. I've noticed that it's only not working for inline rolls. If I just have a macro (or manually enter) "/r 1d20+11 &{tracker}", it will work like it usually does. EDIT: I also have my token's selected, and have my Initiative macros set as Token Actions so that a token MUST be selected to work.
Exactly, that 's what's happening with me.

Same here, my old token action macro was an inline roll and stopped working with the tracker, but changing it to /r or /gr fixed it for now.

Thanks for the extra information, that let me replicate the problem. We'll look into the cause.
I believe this should be fixed now. Thanks!
%{selected|Initiative} isn't working with my D&D 5e game either today. Pushing the button on the sheet still works.
Working perfectly for me once again. Thanks Steve and Riley!
Same here, thank you both!
Ed S. said: %{selected|Initiative} isn't working with my D&D 5e game either today. Pushing the button on the sheet still works. Can you be more specific? /r %{selected|Initiative} ? Or inside an inline roll? And is your console log saying anything?
I simply have %{selected|Initiative} in a macro named "Init", nothing else. Even typing into the chat bar, just spits it back out as %{selected|Initiative}, like it was some text. I'm trying work on this issue with Actoba. I'm getting it only with my Player Characters, it's a pretty strange thing, because it works on newly made PC character sheets, and on all the NPC's I have. It's just not working on my player's sheets that were created earlier than the update. Even weirder, when I changed my "Init" macro to be a copy of the initiative template, with all the mark ups, that works fine, and then magically %{selected|Initiative} starts working, even in the chat bar. Very, very odd.
Ok, I figured it out and it's all me. I named the token action on each character Initiative , which seemed appropriate, but that makes it call itself when I'm calling for Initiative, so it just dumps the text. I have it now. Sorry for the trouble. Thanks! Ed
I'm still having the same problem with calling the initiative roll from Actoba's 5e character sheet using %{selected|Inititative}. I think the issue has something to do with the &{tracker} tag not working with inline rolls for some reason, because I'm having that problem as well. I can add &{tracker} to my normal rolls, but not when I add it to an inline roll.
