Issues with Nested Queries Calling Abilities

1667618001

Edited 1667618137
I constructed a nested query that called abilities, which worked fine if the called ability was simple.  As soon as I added a simple task to the ability, such as a template, the query no longer functioned correctly.  My query was constructed as ?{Type?|Sky,?{Size Sky?|Large,%{Chimera Transform|SkyLarge}|Medium,%{Chimera Transform|SkyMedium}}|Land, ?{Size?|Large,%{Chimera Transform|LandLarge}|Medium,%{Chimera Transform|LandMedium} }} Inside the various abilities, I simply had a template as &{template:desc} {{desc=A target is transformed into a large Sky Chimera with a level spell.}} Any suggestions as to what to change to make this work? Thanks!
<a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Roll_Query/Nested" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Roll_Query/Nested</a> I believe the problem is that each sub-nest needs to have an additional level of substitution, so it would look like this: &amp;{template:desc&amp;amp;#125; {{desc=A target is transformed into a large Sky Chimera with a level spell.&amp;amp;#125;&amp;amp;#125; This gets very cumbersome very quickly. Chat Menus are much easier to write and maintain.
