[5e shaped] character sheet, updates break macros

Hi, I was just wondering if there is a quick fix for broken macros after each character sheet update? Traits/Action macros from the NPC sheet are no longer working. I'm not looking forward to copy/paste several macros for each of the 150+ monsters in my character vault/monster manual. Any help would be much appreciated.

Can you explain what is broken? Nothing has changed really.
Hi, appears that my token action macros are no longer working. Here is what it shows when I try to use a token action macro, based on the Multi Attack action. If I roll from the sheet it's fine, and I can copy and paste that output into the Abilities again and the token macro then works correctly. But doing this is hours of work considering the amount of token actions and amount of monsters I have created. These macros are based from Traits and Actions tab of the NPC sheet. Initiative token macros and spell macros all seem to be working correctly.

Ohhh, you used macro_options... That was removed a while ago to improve performance slightly and for another reason which escapes me now. What does your multiattack block look like? Do you reference "macro_options"? If so then :S "%{Troglodyte|repeating_actions_0_action}" is the correct syntax. The  Wiki mentions it. I can't really offer you much assistance if you set them up with macro_options. :S

If you want to replace your custom macro using the current sheet's variables. Replace repeating_actions_0_macro_options with the following, being sure to preface each with the character name if needed: @{repeating_weapons_melee_0_toggle_attack} @{repeating_weapons_melee_0_toggle_crit} @{repeating_weapons_melee_0_toggle_damage} @{repeating_weapons_melee_0_toggle_alt_damage} @{repeating_weapons_melee_0_toggle_second_damage} You can skip the alt and second damage if it is not applicable.

You can just reference the action directly. That'll avoid any further issues. I doubt I'll do many changes, but the performance is quite a problem and roll20 didn't seem too happy about it so who knows.
Ok, thanks for the tips. I'm not really a macro guy. I just rolled actions from the character sheet and used Up arrow to copy and paste the string from the dialogue box into the Abilities tab as a token action macro.
