5E Shaped (Creating and Linking Charcter abilities) problems, which are likely my fault

So I'm playing a Ranger/Rogue and was using the following query in my attacks for Colossus Slayer followed by another for Sneak Attack. ?{Use Colossus Slayer|No, |Yes, +[[ 1d8 ]] piercing Colossus Slayer} It works, but I felt it slowed down combat when i added another query for hunter's mark. Also I would have to manually roll crit dice, or go through the entire query process for another attack, or leave a ---If crit and the appropriate dice at the end of each query. Looking for a way to get crits to roll automatically I found another post, which had a comment by the sheets creator, Kryx, that basically said you can't. Kryx suggested linking character abilities instead, which after some trial and error I got to work, by adding it as an attacher to a weapon. Once I got Colossus Slayer working I tried adding Sneak Attack and that's when it all stopped working. Now I can't get anything to work, even after deleting the script and starting over again. Is there some thing I'm missing? I'd really like it to look like this pic when it was working but with other clickables for Sneak Attack and Hunter's Mark underneath or next to Colossus Slayer. Is what I'm trying to do possible? Do I need to be a Plus or Pro subscriber? If so any idea why it worked temporarily and then stopped?

Can you post a screen shot of the attachers section of your sheet?
Is this right? I've tried it in both the weapons tab and the class features sections and then both at the same time.

I would add that as a universal attacher, set to activate when you make an attack. Universal attachers are at the bottom of the settings page. Create one called Combat Options. Click the button to the right of "Offense" Put your Colossus Slayer code on the first line of the freetext field Put your sneak Attack code on the second line of the freetext field: [Sneak Attack](~character_id|repeating_classfeature_-id_action) IDs will need to be filled in from your sheet. The quickest way to find your sneak attack code is to click the class features footer at the bottom of your class features. Then click the sneak attack button that appears in chat. When I do that with one of my player's rogue character, I get: %{-KHH794BW8SRx6aTG5qj|repeating_classfeature_-kejlhyv1bqj3qsskoc5_action} This gets rewritten in the freetext line of his attacher as : [Sneak Attack 2](~-KHH794BW8SRx6aTG5qj|repeating_classfeature_-kejlhyv1bqj3qsskoc5_action) Basically: [feature name](~ everything_between_the_curly_brackets ) You can do this for any number  of class features. They will appear at the bottom of any offense (attack) you make.
Awesome, it's so much better than all those Query's. Thank You!

Attachers are one of the best parts of the Shaped Sheet. This also prompted me to get off my butt and write an Applescript to automate this for me. I usually have to open up a character I've made before to remind me of how I did it.
