Use formula for check bonus

Ok one of my player uns now a prood Level 3 Bard which just gaines Expertise feat described as followed:  At 3rd level, choose two of your skill proficiencies. Your proficiency bonus is doubled for any ability check you make that uses either of the chosen proficiencies. Player choosed animal_handling as one of them, so to adjust auto expertise factor I first created this attribute: Expertise_prof_bonus = (@{pb} * 2) Default animal_handling_roll attribute is giving me: @{wtype}&{template:simple} {{rname=^{animal_handling-u}}} {{mod=@{animal_handling_bonus}}} {{r1=[[@{d20}+2[Proficiency]+3[wisdom]@{pbd_safe}]]}} {{always=1}} {{r2=[[@{d20}+2[Proficiency]+3[wisdom]@{pbd_safe}]]}} {{global=@{global_skill_mod}}} @{charname_output} Of course at 3rd level, proficiency bonus of 2 is good for now and with wisdom score of 16 (+3 bonus is good too). adding 'em up gives us 5 which is exactly what I see both in  animal_handling_bonus attribute value and in character shoot between check box hand Animal Handling (Wis) label I tried to change static auto-computed value of animal_handling_bonus attribute to a formula something like: ( [[@{Expertise_prof_bonus}]] + [[@{wisdom_mod}]] ) However, no matter what I try, formula is never evaluated on character sheet, it simply displays as text whatever I feed in this attribute, right where there was a 5 before. Check then becomes unusable (not even able to click on it). Is there a way to force formula to be evaluated instead? Thanks

Wow, can't beleive it was that simple. Now is their something already built-in too for unproficient skills to apply Jack of all Trades too? Jack of all trades: Starting at 2nd level, you can add half your proficiency bonus, rounded down, to any ability check you make that doesn't already include your proficiency bonus.  Nevermind, just found the checkbox in settings. That's awesome. Thanks for your help
