Macro Issue

I have a macro I copied from a server I used to run a couple years ago, and it isnt working.  It still works on the old server which is weird.  Its basically a button to check a skill on the selected player, its for players and GM's to make the process a bit quicker. Its a bit verbose, but hoping someone can look quick and tell me if I am missing a server setting or something maybe?? @{selected|wtype}&{template:simple} @{selected|rtype}?{Skill

Where did you save this macro? As a collection macro? If so, then you likely copied it with the html replacements intact, then at some point reopened the macro and Roll20 parsed them into their regular characters, and broke the macro. If that's the case then you'll need to find the original macro again with all of the html replacements. Roll20 Macro Nesting

Hmm. this sounds promising, but not quite following you. So I have desktop1, the macro works.  So I open the macro and Copy it, then go to desktop2 and paste it.  And then get the error.  It is a collection macro... Is there another process I should use? Thanks for help.

I'm guessing you originally copied the macro from another post like this one . You can see that partway in the macro there are several html replacements that look like '}}'.  ' }' is the html replacement entity for the closing brace character '}' . What happens with Roll20 queries is that there are several 'command' characters: ? { | , }.  The ?{ is the start of the query. Each item is separated by a vertical pipe | .  Each input and output are separated by a comma , . And each query is ended with a closing brace } . When the query is called, each item needs to include double closing braces for the roll template that is being used to close those sections and make them display correctly in chat. But when Roll20 sees the closing braces, it assumes that they are closing the query, and it breaks because they are parsed incorrectly.  So by using html replacements, the double closing braces can be 'postponed' until after the query is finished, then be used for the roll template so that it displays in chat correctly. Unfortunately collection macros will be parsed whenever they are opened, so any html entities will be changed to their regular characters.  You can create a macro with html entities in it, and save it, and it will work correctly because the  } code will remain.  As soon as you reopen  the macro, all of the html entities will be changed back to their characters (such as closing braces } ) and then the code will not work any more. One workaround to this is to put any code like this on a Macro Mule character, because html entities are not  parsed when opened on a character sheet.  It's just a quirk of how Roll20 is set up.  So you could create a character named 'MacroMule', and create an ability called 'SkillCheck' with the original code with html replacement entities in it.  Then create a Collection Macro named SkillCheck that simply has this code: %{MacroMule|SkillCheck}
