Drop-down choices and defered replacement

I want to make a knowledge macro for pathfinder, and it needs to go something like: Knowledge[choice] = 1d20 + @{selected|knowledge-choice} I'm trying this {{Knowledge [?{Knowledge|Arcana|Dungeoneering|Engineering|Geography|History|Local|Nature|Nobility|Planes|Religion}]=[[1d20+?{Knowledge|Arcana,@{selected|knowledge-arcana}|Dungeoneering,@{selected|knowledge-dungeoneering}|Engineering,@{selected|knowledge-engineering}|Geography,@{selected|knowledge-geography}|History,@{selected|knowledge-history}|Local,@{selected|knowledge-local}|Nature,@{selected|knowledge-nature}|Nobility,@{selected|knowledge-nobility}|Planes,@{selected|knowledge-planes}|Religion,@{selected|knowledge-religion} } }]]}} but apparently defering replacement for choices just doesn't work. It turns them into a 0. Is there a way to have a choice mean something in one place, and something else in another?

No there isn't, and you can't use a Query result inside an Attribute call due to order of operations. If you need it to hold two values (like a number and a text label) you can either have two Queries (tends to be annoying), or put more of your macro into the Query value: &{template:default} {{name=Knowledge Roll}} {{Knowledge (?{Knowledge| Arcana,Arcana)=[[1d20 + @{selected|knowledge-arcana}[ARC]]]| Dungeoneering,Dungeoneering)=[[1d20 + @{selected|knowledge-dungeoneering}[DNG]]] } }} Only two options in there, presumably you want to use a PF template anyway. But you get the idea. Note that you can put a line break in your macro at the pipe | where you split your Query options up. It makes these long drop-downs significantly easier to read and edit.

Jean-Luc C. said: Is there a way to have a choice mean something in one place, and something else in another? No, there's no way to do this. The way to achieve a similar effect is to make each row of the query include more. You can do this: {{?{Knowledge| Test,Test=[[1d20+20]]| Arcana,Arcane=[[1d20+ @{selected|knowledge-arcana}]]| Dungeoneering , Dungeoneering, [[1d20+ @{selected|knowledge-dungeoneering}]]}}} Just enter the other rows as appropriate.
