[5e OGL] @{selected|charname_output} returns output

i am using a macro that rolls initiative for a selected token and adds it to the tracker. the name is always correct in the initiative tracker: that is not the concern. the issue is the chat pod: all but one of my characters adds the character name after the roll. this one never includes the name. this is a bit of a problem when i find myself rolling initiative for several characters in rapid succession. what am i missing and what can i do to remedy this? @{selected|wtype}&{template:simple} {{rname=^{init-u}}} {{mod=+[[@{selected|initiative_bonus}[INIT]]]}} {{r1=[[1d20@{selected|halflingluck}+[[@{selected|initiative_bonus}]]&{tracker}]]}} {{normal=1}} @{selected|charname_output}

Usually you would use @{selected|character_name}

I would first try %{selected|initiative} in place of that macro. This calls the initiative roll button on the selected Character's sheet. If that fails, what does the Text Chat return when you enter @{selected|character_name}?

thanks for pointing me in the right direction: i replaced @{selected|charname_output} with {{charname=@{selected|character_name}}} and that seems to have fixed the inconsitancy.

Silvyre said: I would first try %{selected|initiative} in place of that macro. This calls the initiative roll button on the selected Character's sheet. If that fails, what does the Text Chat return when you enter @{selected|character_name}? %{selected|initiative} has the same inconsistency. i took my macro right from the character sheet initiative roles, and replaced the specific name with "selected." @{selected|character_name} returns the correct name.

Ah, I just realized that in the newest version of the sheet there's a new  General Option called "ADD CHARACTER NAME TO TEMPLATES": This option is toggled off by default.
