Looking for a little help

I wish to make a macro that reuses a previously made choice on a dropdown list. Here is the macro: /em &{template:default} {{name=Melee Attack Roll}} {{@{selected|token_name} takes a swing at @{target|token_name} with ?{Weapon?|@{selected|Weapon3}|@{selected|Weapon4} }! }} {{result=[[ ?{# of Die?|1}d20sd?{Type of attack?|Normal, |Epic,kh1|Hexed,kl1} + (@{selected|Mac|max}+@{selected| CHOSEN WEAPON |Max) + (?{Other Bonus/Penalties?|0}) ]] }} The bold is where I need to use the previously chosen option [Weapon3 or Weapon4] Is there a way to do this [without the API] or do I just need to place another dropdown list here?

@{selected|"?{Weapon?}"|Max} OR @{selected|?{Weapon?}|Max} should work...

Both of these gave an error: No attribute was found for @{selected|"?{Weapon?}" and No attribute was found for @{selected|?{Weapon?}

You could have the full template finish as a result of the query (you'll need to use html replacements for key characters as per the  advanced usage guide ): /em &{template:default} {{name=Melee Attack Roll}} {{@{selected|token_name} takes a swing at @{target|token_name} with ?{Weapon?| @{selected|Weapon3},@{selected|Weapon3}! }} {{result=[[ ?{# of Die?|1}d20sd?{Type of attack?|Normal, |Epic,kh1|Hexed,kl1} + (@{selected|Mac|max}+@{selected|Weapon3|Max}) + (?{Other Bonus/Penalties?|0} |@{selected|Weapon4},@{selected|Weapon4}! }} {{result=[[ ?{# of Die?|1}d20sd?{Type of attack?|Normal, |Epic,kh1|Hexed,kl1} + (@{selected|Mac|max}+@{selected|Weapon4|Max}) + (?{Other Bonus/Penalties?|0} }) ]] }}

Yggdrasil said: Both of these gave an error: No attribute was found for @{selected|"?{Weapon?}" and No attribute was found for @{selected|?{Weapon?} Yep, this doesn't work due to the order of operations, attributes and abilities are resolved before roll queries. However, roll queries can be reused just fine, and you don't even have to repeat the options. You might have to use advanced roll queries (and all the html encoding that entails).

Oh, advanced queries and html encoding, always fun. :P Thanks for the help everyone.

I'd probably just use something like /em &{template:default} {{name=Melee Attack Roll }} {{@{selected|token_name} takes a swing at @{target|token_name} with ?{Weapon?|    @{selected|Weapon1}, @{selected|Weapon1}! }} {{result=[[ @{selected|Weapon1|max} |    @{selected|Weapon2}, @{selected|Weapon2}! }} {{result=[[ @{selected|Weapon2|max} } + ?{# of Die?|1}d20sd?{Type of attack?|Normal, |Epic,kh1|Hexed,kl1} + (@{selected|Mac|max}) + (?{Other Bonus/Penalties?|0}) ]] }} as Z suggested. However, in case you're interested, there exists a different way of handling this using what I term " extended Attribute calls ".
