Secret Rolls on 5e Shaped Sheet

I am a DM and wanted to roll secret Perception, Stealth, and a few other skill checks so that the players don't know if they succeeded or not (or even rolled well or failed badly).  I was able to do it by doing the up arrow and copying it and changing the character's name to Selected. But now it won't work because it doesn't take into account proficiency or ability score. Does someone know how to do this via a macro?

I want to emphasize - I do not want the player to see it so the whisper option doesn't work.

By default: @{selected|repeating_skill_$11_formula} is the total Perception modifier. Likewise, @{selected|repeating_skill_$16_formula} is the total Stealth modifier. Check out the repeating skills documentation . Otherwise, /w gm %{selected|repeating_skill_$11_skill} could work quite well for individual Perception checks, etc. (You might consider replacing the Attributes' RowIndexes with their RowIDs for each individual player, as skills could get rearranged. However, this would merit the creation of individual macros for each player, which might not be ideal.)

Up arrow is not a good process as it delivers code that will not stay up to date as you have discovered. The  Shaped documentation presents 2 options for this. You can also drag the skill to the macro bar, use it from there, and then use the up arrow - that will give you code that will stay up to date.
Wow, I didn't even know about this doc. You're too good to us, Kryx. Thanks so much for all of the work you pour into this sheet.

Vanakoji did all of it. I just formatted it a bit.
