Make rolls by GM public

OGL by Roll 20 for D&D 5E Is there a way using API or Macros to make all my rolls public?  When I roll stuff for the npc's my players can never see the rolls because it's always whispered to me.  I see there is a place on the character sheets to make rolls public but I don't want to have to change each sheet manually when I open a monster or npc.  I just want the players to see when I make attacks and skill checks etc.
This is normally a checked option. I know in the Bestiary sheets for PF2 I have to turn this feature on the sheet, tab in the top right I want to say.

You can try setting the whisper settings on the campaign details page and then going into the experimental settings on the bottom of the in-game settings tab, and applying them. But that can be quirky, and I've seen many reports of problems with that. It can be set with a ChatSetAttr macro on any selected tokens. This will affect all tokens of that character sheet: Whisper !setattr --sel --silent --wtype|'/w gm ' Public !setattr --sel --silent --wtype|''
Thank you.  ChatSetAttr macro is exactly what I was thinking.

You might want to check and see if those are already options on your Utility Chat Menu.
hahaha,  you're right.  They ARE on there already.  There are a lot of commands I don't know how to use or don't work so I never investigated them much.  I will now use two more. :-)
