Nested query with API

Hello folks, once again I ask a question I have not found an answer to:             const open      = "&#"+"123;"             const close     = "&#"+"125;"             const comma     = "&#"+"44;"             const question  = "&#"+"63;"             const pipe      = "&#"+"124;";             const query = `?{Name of Query| Select:, ${question}${open} Choose: ${pipe} Option1 ${comma} 1 ${pipe} Option2 ${comma} 2 ${close} }`;                          sendChat(msg.who, '[Test](!something ' + query + ')' ); I want to create a button or more precisely a query with nesting. I expected this to give me only one option 'Select' and after that offer me two options 'Option1' and 'Option2'. Instead I get all three options. I tried to double escape the entities but that just resulted in a broken query. So, how do I have to format this so that I get 2 consecutive queries ?

Try adding a second option after ${close}, i.e. `?{Name of Query| Select:, ${question}${open} Choose: ${pipe} Option1 ${comma} 1 ${pipe} Option2 ${comma} 2 ${close} | Placeholder }`; The second option is necessary in order to get the the "Name of Query" Roll Query to function as a dropdown Roll Query. Also, be prepared that nesting your Roll Query within an API Command Button is going to add a layer of complexity (i.e. nesting and complications ) to your endeavors, which you'll have to account for. I'd recommend having your script output to a Handout until it works well enough to factor in API Command Buttons.

I just tried what you proposed and it simple does not work. The placeholder isn't even shown. So I'm exactly where I was before. Outputting to  a handout does not do what I want because this is used in a HTML turnOrder that I write to chat. There I use command buttons to modify the state of the members of the turnorder.
