Man, I used to remember who to write basic macros.. T_T

Trying to consolidate some of my macro buttons. Instead of having 4 different buttons in my macro bar, I just wanted to consolidate them into a drop down menu that will trigger the macro. what was the format for making that. (consolidaitng Group Check, Group Init, !itp -start, !itp -pause, !itp -listfavs) etc.

Consolidating macros into a query (drop down) is going to be rather time consuming and painful. It will involve using many HTML substitutions .  Instead I recommend using Chat Menus . You can whisper them to yourself so that other people are not being spammed. 
So, doing chat menu, I am getting some error <a href="https://imgur.com/a/KQDU0Wb" rel="nofollow">https://imgur.com/a/KQDU0Wb</a>
If I do: /w gm &amp;{template:atk} {{desc=**DM Menu** [**Group Initative**](!#Group-Initiative) [**Group Check**](#Group-Check)}} I get it to work, but I no longer have a button box around Group-Check. If I do&nbsp; /w gm &amp;{template:atk} {{desc=**DM Menu** [**Group Initative**](!#Group-Initiative) [**Group Check**](!`#Group-Check)}} Then I get the box, but when I run it - I am able to submit all the data points but once I press enter, it doesnt process anything. Trying to keep the pink button too :)

Hi Novercallis! From your screenshot, it looks like all of the "macros" are actually "abilities" built on the same character sheet. Very, very similar, but there are a few differences. The syntax is much simpler for a chat menu in this case. Try: /w gm &amp;{template:atk} {{desc=**DM Menu** [**Group Initative**](~Group-Initiative) [**Group Check**](~Group-Check)}}
ohh, i'll keep that in mind Keith. But I did copy/paste my DM sheet into the collection tab. it's just my sheet I use to transmog over to each campaign to setup :)

Ah, then try this: /w gm &amp;{template:atk} {{desc=**DM Menu** [**Group Initative**](`#Group-Initiative) [**Group Check**](`#Group-Check)}} The backtick method changed a few years back; this is discussed in the wiki link that Gauss posted. Note that if you link to any macro that has a query in it, that can cause other issues.
