[D&D 5E (Classic)] Ability Mods not adding to Skill Checks, Initiative, or Saving Throws

Hello! This one has me stumped! Any help would be GREATLY appreciated. A new PC recently joined my game, and for some reason none of their skill checks or saving throws include the ability modifiers shown on their sheet. When looking at their sheet, everything looks correct: But when rolling, for example Perception, it adds nothing, but it should add a +4: It does the same for EVERY skill. It also does not add their Dex modifier (+3) to their initiative: For Saving Throws, it will include the proficiency bonus (+2), but will not include the ability modifier: However, it DOES include ability modifiers and proficiency bonuses to attack roles: I have tried looking into the Attributes & Abilities page, but confusingly, the ability modifiers there appear to match those on the character sheet. For example, the perception bonus is the same on both (+4): But, when I typed the following prompt into the Text Chat: @{Morlena|perception_bonus} It returned: 0 Please help!

EDIT: Immediately after posting this, I discovered the issue. There was a second Character Sheet in the game with the exact same character name, whose ability modifiers were all 0. It must have been defaulting to that sheet for some reason. As soon I changed the name on the second sheet, everything resolved itself! I'll leave this up in case it proves helpful to anyone in the future!

Hi Tuesday Night,  Yup, Roll20 doesn't know which character you want to use if it has the same name. Never name two characters the same. :D
