Require 5eShaped Macro Help

Recently I have started in new campaign that in short requires me to be able to roll from multiple characters. As it is a pain to switch multiple sheets constantly and the macro bar being so long, I decided to write a macro for common things I need to pull from each of the sheets, saves, ability checks ect. However the old macros I used to use are no longer compatible due to being made over 3 years ago so i'm having to start from scratch. So far I am iteration 4 and close to where i would like it to be however have come to a dead end with ideas to make it work. Now when rolling from the shaped sheet normally it displays a small dot to indicate advantage and disadvantage making it very clear to see. And this is where i'm having trouble, trying to implement this indicator. From looking at the wiki it has something to do with using {{@{selected|shaped_d20}=1}} to pull from the sheet however each method i have thought up so far has resulted in either the indicator being displayed but the roll no longer working or the opposite. I would appreciate any help if anyone knows how to implement this correctly or has other ways that work for the same result. The current working macro I have before implementing the above is: &{template:5e-shaped} {{title=@{selected|character_name} }} {{ [[ ?{Roll|Normal,1d20|Advantage,2d20dl1|Disadvantage,2d20dh1}+?{save_type|Strength,[[@{selected|strength_saving_throw_mod_with_sign}]] ]] Strength |Dexterity,[[@{selected|dexterity_saving_throw_mod_with_sign} ]] ]] Dexterity|Constitution,[[@{selected|constitution_saving_throw_mod_with_sign}]] ]] Constitution|Intelligence,[[@{selected|intelligence_saving_throw_mod_with_sign}]] ]] Intelligence|Wisdom,[[@{selected|wisdom_saving_throw_mod_with_sign}]] ]] Wisdom|Charisma,[[@{selected|charisma_saving_throw_mod_with_sign}]] ]] Charisma|Death,[[@{selected|death_saving_throw_mod_with_sign}]] ]] Death} Save}}

I wouldn't recommend creating macros. The sheet contains all the macros you need - just link to those. See the settings page and drag those either to the token bar of the token or the global bar of roll20. You can always create generic versions that work for all characters, but again you should reference the sheet macros, not create your own. Creating your own will not work with much of the sheet's functionality.
