Chat's Dropdown character list.

So I noticed that whenever someone makes a new character or adds an npc from the compendium, their name gets added to a list in chat. To the right of "As:" at the bottom of the list you can select which character your rolling as if you want to do a dice roll that doesn't use a character sheet, but if you use a different character sheet than the one on the list, roll20 will say the one on the list made the roll instead the one on the character sheet. I was just wondering if there was a setting that makes it so that when you open a character sheet, and click one of its rolls, to make it appear in chat as said character automatically, rather than always have to search for it. As a dm, it would be a lot easier to keep track of which custom npcs made which rolls that way, instead constantly scrolling and searching for them. If there isn't a setting like that, can roll20 please add one. Thank You

How rolls are displayed will vary sheet by sheet, depending on how the roll button macros are structured.  In the sheets I have written, the name of the sheet the roll was made from is displayed at the top of the roll template output.  With that being the case, it doesn't matter what the "Speaking as" is set to, since the roll will tell you where it really came from.  Basically, this issue will apply to games using certain character sheets, but won't apply at all to others.
Thank you very much Kraynic, I for the life of me could not figure it out, for anyone else reading this whose curious, in roll20's 5e, in a character sheet, if you click on the gear on the icon right  of spells, if you look on the right side under the check list where it says "Show Global..." there is an option that says "Add character names to templates" switch that to on for those who use character sheets for npcs. When you roll for that character it will say their name beneath the roll, npcs don't really have this option, they kind of do it automatically. This won't change the picture each time however but for the sake of time, it doesn't matter that much.
