initiative macro quick bar

Hi, I am trying to setup the macro for initative in the quick bar. I am using Shaped character sheet. What I want is: 1) select a token monster 2) press initiative button 3) send the value to the initiative tracker. This is the macro I wrote and the result: What did I do wrong?

Pantoufle has the right of it.  If you don't want the Roll Template from Shaped in the chat, I think the roll is: /roll @{selected|initiative_formula} &{tracker} or [[@{selected|initiative_formula} &{tracker}]]

The Chat--press up formula would give you a sheet-specific macro. For a macro that allows you to select any monster token on the board, use this for the Shaped sheet. @{selected|initiative_output_option} &{template:5e-shaped} {{ability=1}} {{character_name=@{selected|character_name}}} @{selected|show_character_name} {{title=^{INITIATIVE}}} {{@{selected|initiative_roll}=1}} {{roll1=[[@{selected|initiative_formula}]]}} @{selected|attacher_initiative} That will account for all the things like attachers to initiative and format it nicely for the chat.

Yes, that is perfect, thank you!
