Initiative Macro Not Working

I have a token. It's linked to a character sheet in the game. In the attributes area of that character, I've created an attribute called Dexterity that has a 4 in the first box, denoting the character's bonus. This is the macro I'm using in the abilities section for the character sheet: &{template:default} {{name=Roll's Initiative}} {{You Rolled=[[1d20+@{Dexterity}+&{tracker}]]}}  It's my understanding (Which may mean bupkus) that when executing the macro, it should roll a d20 and add the modifier from the Dexterity area.  However, when I test it, I never get higher than a 20 and I see 1s, 2s, 3s & 4s from time to time. But with a modifier of 4, shouldn't the lowest result be a 5 and shouldn't the highest result be a 24?  What am I doing wrong here? I'm pulling my thinning hair out :)
&{template:default} {{name=Roll's Initiative}} {{You Rolled=[[ 1d20 + @{Dexterity} &{tracker}  ]]   }} No plus sign in front of &{tracker}
Great sleeping pharaohs of Egypt, THANK YOU!!!!!!
Here's another question: Is there a macro that can allow the gm to roll a perception check for every PC at once?
I think it would have to be created using each of the player's names.   A better option is to use the group initiative API listed  here .
Dave, If each player has their "perception" stored in an attribute on their character Journal Attributes & Abilities Page.... (Replacing "Player#" with their actual journal name) /w GM &{template:default} {{name=Player Perceptions}} {{ Player1=[[1d20 + @{player1|perception} ]] }} {{ Player2=[[1d20 + @{player2|perception} ]] }} {{ Player3=[[1d20 + @{player3|perception} ]] }} {{ Player4=[[1d20 + @{player4|perception} ]] }} {{ Player5=[[1d20 + @{player5|perception} ]] }}
