Issue with calling Character Sheet Macros from drop down menu

Hi Everyone,

I am facing a rather puzzling behaviour. I have been trying to get a a drop down menu to offer a choice between a set of macros created in a character sheet, here below an example:

&{template:default} {{name=List of Careers}}{{?{Select Career|[Acrobat](~Acrobat)|[Actor]|(~Actor)|[Agitator](~Agitator)|[Alchemists' Apprentice](~Alchemists'-Apprentice)}}}

If I look at the link created under the button I see this "https://app.roll20.net/editor/~Acrobat" which is not what I would expect "https://app.roll20.net/editor/~-MWFFi5dq5hRA3lnvZz6%7CAcrobat"

I can manage to get this working but only if I use macros created in the collection like this 

&{template:default} {{name=List of Careers}}{{?{Select Career|[Acrobat](!
Acrobat)|[Actor]|(!
#Actor)|[Agitator](!
#Agitator)|[Alchemists' Apprentice](!
#Alchemists'-Apprentice)}}}

I even tried the following:

&{template:default} {{name=List of Careers}}{{?{Select Career|[Acrobat](~-MWFFi5dq5hRA3lnvZz6%7CAcrobat)|[Actor]|(~-MWFFi5dq5hRA3lnvZz6%7CActor)|[Agitator](~Agitator)|[Alchemists' Apprentice](~-MWFFi5dq5hRA3lnvZz6%7CAlchemists'-Apprentice)}}}

At this point I get the right link but when I look through inspect to the html I can see that the hyperlink created is not what expected

<a href="~-MWFFi5dq5hRA3lnvZz6%7CAcrobat">Acrobat</a> <a href="~-MWFFi5dq5hRA3lnvZz6|Acrobat">Acrobat</a>

and therefore when I press the button, instead of launching the macro I get redirected to "Page Not Found".

By the way I also cannot manage to make the following work even for macros available in collection:

&{template:default} {{name=List of Careers}}{{?{Select Career|Acrobat, [Acrobat](!&#13;Acrobat)|Actor, [Actor]|(!&#13;#Actor)|Agitator, [Agitator](!&#13;#Agitator)|Alchemists' Apprentice, [Alchemists' Apprentice](!&#13;#Alchemists'-Apprentice)}}}

Anybody knows how solve this? Thanks in advance...

Not sure how I missed this one... sorry for the delay.

Ability buttons don't seem to play nice with queries... I've got a couple of options for you if you like:

&{template:default} {{name=List of Careers}}{{[Acrobat](~Acrobat)[Actor](~Actor)[Agitator](~Agitator)[Alchemists' Apprentice](~Alchemists'-Apprentice)}}

^^ straight up chat menu of buttons linked to a characters abilities, the lack of query means you can also use the %{<char name/selected/target>|<ability name>} syntax if needed.

For the collections macro you can use a query like this:

&{template:default} {{name=List of Careers}}{{?{Select Career|Acrobat,[Acrobat](!
#Acrobat )|Actor,[Actor](!
#Actor )|Agitator,[Agitator](!
#Agitator )|Alchemists' Apprentice,[Alchemists' Apprentice](!
#Alchemists'-Apprentice )}}}

Basically the same as you had but there were a number of flaws, you need a space at the end of the macro name in the button and there were some misplaced query syntax that I cleaned up for you.

Hi Ziechael, many thanks.

Do I understand well, though, that the drop down menu with "Ability" Macros is not an option? If it is the case do you know why such a choice was made? The advantage of having macros in a character sheet is that they can be easily moved from one game to another...

Option one you offered, is fine but, the macro menu I will have to create will contain almost 100 careers and a drop down menu would have definitively been a better choice.

Found time to have a play around... how about this:

&{template:default} {{name=List of Careers}}{{?{Select Career|Acrobat,[Acrobat](~target|Acrobat)|Actor,[Actor](~target|Actor)|Agitator,[Agitator](~target|Agitator)}}}

It uses sheet abilities and the target syntax to allow you to choose a token to run the ability from (without target/selected or hardcoded values the button won't know where to run the ability from).

Thanks Ziechael, it worked like a charm...
