Macro text not showing up

Hi, I'm trying to edit the macro from  this post  for use with my character. But every time I click the macro it rolls the appropriate dice and nothing shows up in  the chat. Here is my edit(where I probably messed something up) &{template:5eDefault} {{spell=1}} {{title=[Eldritch Blast](~THUNDERCRACK|Eldritch-Blast)}}{{subheader=@{THUNDERCRACK|character_name}}} {{subheaderright=Evocation Cantrip}} {{subheader2=Range 120'}} {{emote=THUNDERCRACK launches a crackling beam of energy at the enemy }} {{spellshowattack=1}} {{spellattack=[[ 1d20 + [[ @{THUNDERCRACK|charisma_mod} + @{THUNDERCRACK|PB} ]] + (@{THUNDERCRACK|spell_attack_bonus}) ]] }} {{spellshowattackadv=1}} {{spellattackadv=[[ 1d20 + [[ @{THUNDERCRACK|charisma_mod} + @{THUNDERCRACK|PB} ]] + (@{THUNDERCRACK|spell_attack_bonus}) ]] }} {{spellshowdamage=1}} {{spelldamage=[[ 1d10 + (@{THUNDERCRACK|spell_damage_bonus}) ]] force}} {{spellcancrit=1}} {{spellcritdamage=Additional [[ 1d10 ]] force damage}} ---- &{template:5eDefault} {{spell=1}}  {{title=[Eldritch Blast](~Xanyl Vikarsson|Eldritch-Blast)}} {{subheader=@{Selected|character_name}}} {{subheaderright=Evocation Cantrip}} {{subheader2=Range 120'}} {{emote=@{selected|token_name} launches a crackling beam of energy at @{target|token_name} }} {{spellshowattack=1}} {{spellattack=[[ 1d20 + [[ @{Selected|charisma_mod} + @{Selected|PB} ]] + (@{Selected|global_spell_attack_bonus}) ]] }} {{spellshowattackadv=1}} {{spellattackadv=[[ 1d20 + [[ @{Selected|charisma_mod} + @{Selected|PB} ]] + (@{Selected|global_spell_attack_bonus}) ]] to hit  [[ @{target|bar2}d1 ]] }} {{spellshowdamage=1}} {{spelldamage=[[ 1d10 + (@{Selected|global_spell_damage_bonus}) ]] force}} {{spellcancrit=1}} {{spellcritdamage=Additional [[ 1d10 ]] force damage}} {{spellshoweffects=1}} {{spelleffect=Cast [[ [[ ((@{selected|warlock_level} + 1) / 6 + 0.5)d1]] ]] beams}} @{Selected|classactionspellcast} And here is the original
After some testing I'm thinking the issue is the "5eDefault" template. Is this a template that used to exist but is not around anymore?

It looks like that roll template belongs to the 5e Community sheet (what that is very out of date and largely abandoned). Which sheet are you using?
Oh, bummer. We are using the 5e OGL sheet. Thanks for your help.
This issue will also pop up if the macro has attributes which are empty on the character sheet. For example, if a macro has @{selected|level}, and the level field on the character sheet is empty, the template will not appear in chat.

If I were more familiar with the Roll20 5e sheet, I'd take a stab at converting.
