[Bug?] API Command Button output is Different than the Button it References...

Tried posting this is the Character Sheet Forum to see if anyone had thoughts, but no responses, so figured I'd post this here... Weird situation, and not sure if this is a but or something I'm doing wrong, but...I'm working on a sheetworker to output a stat block with clickable items to roll dice. Those clickable items refer to the actual sheet buttons, but things are different when using the API button (or when creating a macro using the shortcut to the button. First, here's the output: Notice in the Statblock, that Short Sword shows STR+1d4!+1, but when I click on that, the output shows Damage (Str+1d4!+0). The roll below that is from clicking the actual button on the character sheet and the Damage shows Str+1d4!+1. I get the same result as the API button if I create my own Ability with the following code: %{Efaa Etrob|repeating_meleeweapons_$0_ tMeleeWeapon } So, here's the code for the API button: **@{repeating_meleeweapons_$0_WeaponType}**: [STR+@{repeating_meleeweapons_$0_MeleeDieNum}d@{repeating_meleeweapons_$0_DmgType}+@{repeating_meleeweapons_$0_MDmgMod}](~repeating_meleeweapons_$0_ tMeleeWeapon ) Here's the HTML for the sheet button: <button type='roll' name='roll_ tMeleeWeapon ' value='@{skillwrt} @{defdTemplate} @{rolltMeleeWeapon}'></button> <input type='hidden' name='attr_rolltMeleeWeapon' value="{{name=@{character_name}}} {{weapon=@{WeaponType}}} {{damage_type=Str+@{MeleeDieNum}d@{DmgType}+@{MDmgMod}}} {{damage=@{rollMeleeWeapon}}} {{raise=@{DmgRaise}}} {{dmgmod=@{dmgmod}}} {{notes=@{meleeWNotes}}}" /> NOTE: This is not just cosmetic, either...hovering over the roll shows the +0 and +1 are reflected in the roll itself, too. Am I doing something wrong, or is this a bug with Roll20 that I need to report?

I misspoke...it's actually an Ability Command Button I'm working with, not an API Command Button...the problem still persists as noted, however.

The issue is that you've named a repeating and non-repeating attribute the same thing, which our  character sheet guide says not to do . So, when you're doing the dynamic reference of the ability with the $0 to reference it's index without the full context it's finding the non-repeating match because it appears first in the list and returning that value. The easiest solution would be to change the name of the "mdmgmod" on line 7567 of your sheet to not conflict with the repeating_MDmgMod on line 4951.

Let us know if you run into any other weirdness or related issues. For this issue though I'm going to mark it resolved. In tangentially related news, the sheet is looking sharp, good work! Though you are creeping up toward a very high number of data attributes. over 1200. For performance reasons you might think about ways to minimize or cut down on total attributes for the long term health of the sheet.
