Nesting Macro Help

Edited 1597878811
Hello, Tried looking around but couldn't find anything answering this question specifically. I am having an issue with one specific nesting macro.  Nested Macro: /w Odharan &{template:default} {{name=Spirit Spells}} {{[Burning Hands](!
#Burning-Hand-Fire-Spirit)}} Called Macro: &{template:default} {{name=Burning Hands}} {{Spell Lvl = 1}} {{Range = 15ft.}} {{Area = Cone-Shaped Burst}}  {{DC=[[10+1+@{cha_mod}]] vs Reflex (Save=Half  Damage)}} {{ Fire Damage = [[5d4]]}} Result: Both the macros are located in the Attributes and Abilities tab on the character sheet.  So far I have attempted the Ascii replacement in the Burning Hands macro but it just broke the macro. I have also erased all of the content in the called macro and replaced it with 1d6 and the macro still didn't work, so I am guessing at this point it isn't an issue with the called macro. But I can't see any syntax errors in the nested macro.  I have been attempting to get this macro to work for around 2 days now and after reading through the wiki help and forums I am stumped as to why it isn't working.

That's an API command button : the syntax for linking an ability is [Button name](~character|ability). So in your case you want: [Burning Hands](~Odharan|Burning-Hand-Fire-Spirit) The syntax you were using is correct for calling Collections macros, but it won't work for Ability macros.

That was it! Your Amazing thank you!!!
