[D&D 5e by Roll20] Any way to force a minimum roll on specific skill checks for a character?

Hi, I am wondering if it is possible (using the D&D 5e by Roll20 sheet) to force certain skill checks to have a minimum roll on the dice, to enforce the ability of the Rogue class's Reliable Talent  feature. For example, if a certain character has a +10 bonus to, say, Perception, then the roll of 1d20+10 for a Perception check should have any roll on the d20 of 9 or lower be changed to a 10. Does anyone have any ideas about this? If it is not possible, consider this a feature request - perhaps there could be a field next to each skill in Skill Options that provides an enforced minimum roll in this fashion?
This is not possible through the character sheet itself, however, it is possible through a macro. It would require you to replace the d20 roll with a dice grouping. So instead of [[1d20+MODS]] you would use [[{1d20,9+0d0}kh+MODS]].

Maybe I'm missing some mechanic but if the skill check is 1d20+10 then the lowest result would be 11. If you set it up to where the lowest roll on the d20 is a 9 then you would end up with the minimum of 19 (9+10).

Laðy Laмвðaðelтa  stated   1d20+10 for a Perception check should have any roll on the d20 of 9 or lower be changed to a 10. This is correct: she is referring to the dice roll. So if you roll, say, a 1 or a 9, the die roll would become a 10. The actual result then with d20+10 would be 20. So Kyle's macro should be  [[{1d20,10+0d0}kh+MODS]]

So there's no way to get it to work from pressing the button on the character sheet to roll the skill check directly, rather I would have to use a macro button at the bottom of the screen or something? That's a shame, this character has a lot of skills to which this feature applies.

That's a shame, this character has a lot of skills to which this feature applies. You could create it as a token macro so that ever time you select the token, the macro button would appear. Just go to the attribute and ability tab on the sheet, select an ability and edit it to contain your macro then after you save it, you checkmark "Token macro" and the next time you select the token that is associated with that sheet it would show up in the top left corner area.  If you don't use tokens, just select the "macro bar" option and it will show up at the bottom of the screen, near the avatar area.
