[5e Shaped] Generated ability from character sheet question

Hello, I'm using the 5th Edition (Shaped) Character Sheet Template for my game. It seems to generate some useful attributes for me. One of them is... actions_macro_var , which has the value [Punch](~repeating_action_-kbhsglxn-e3u44brt8h_action) When I call this attribute from a macro, I get a nice little button in the chat window. When clicked, it rolls the ability. I would like to use ~repeating_action_-kbhsglxn-e3u44brt8h_action without needing to make a button in the chat first. I've tried removing [Punch]() but that doesn't work. Is there a way to do this? Thanks.

%{NAME|repeating_action_ID_action} replace name and ID as desired.

Thanks, Here's what plugged in based on your response: %{Punch|repeating_action_-kbhsglxn-e3u44brt8h_action} The output I get from my chat window is: No ability was found for %{Punch|repeating_action_action} I tried removing the - (dash) from " repeating_action_-kbhsglxn-e3u44brt8h_action " with the same kind of output in the chat.

Glad you got it working. :) I was on my phone earlier so sorry for the lack of detail.
