Macro Help, D&D 5E by Roll20 character sheet

So I'm playing in a homebrew setting with a unique racial that I need to find a way to apply to my character sheet... So this kind of works like Jack of All Trade. Is there a way to add this to my character sheet? It adds to standard ability checks, initiative, and any skill check I lack prof. in.... Adaptability:   Whenever you make an ability check in which you lack proficiency, you add half your Intelligence Modifier to the roll. (this rounds down)
No body, eh? :(

Yeah, already tried that, but as you said, it adds it to everything. It doesn't add to ability checks nor does it do so to Initiative. If there was a way to change Jack of All Trades to take the bonus from a stat vs proficiency bonus....
You can "edit" JOAT by messing with the ATTRIBUTE section of the 5e character sheet and I had some success with that, adding JOAT using the tick box and then changing "jack_attr" to read "+ @{intelligence_mod}/2" but that still doesn't affect Init and also obvs needs to be adjusted so you don't get 0.5 of anything, but I didn't persevere as it failed the Init requirement.  Unless anyone else can add to that?

For Initiative you can add in the bonus manually via the settings cog. It will have to be updated every time the Intelligence bonus increases.  There is no place to add the floor(@{intelligence_mod}/2) for initiative that will work.

Simon G. That works for rolling Attributes directly which is a good start (though it looks ugly lol), but doesn't do anything for skill checks, it seems. For skill checks I lack prof. in, it continues to still only add half my prof. bonus
