How can I make findObj to find a repeating section attribute by its row number, i.e. repeating_action_$0_damage? Just naively passing it as the name doesn't seem to find the right attribute.

If the repitems haven't been reordered, then the array returned by findObjs or filterObjs ought to be the order of the items. (Assuming you limit the result set to a single character, of course.) You may be able to use the callback parameter to sendChat to get the indexed value of a repeating item, as well.

It used to work like this before the API/Character sheet reworking : getAttrByName(originchar_id, "repeating_meleeweapons_$0_WeaponType"); (it still works with macros) A topic has been created in the Bug reports and technical issues : Can't access attributes of repeating section with getAttrByName and $X It still doesn't work, feel free to join the topic

It's not exactly my case, alas: I need findObjs, not getAttrByName, since I want to get the attribute object in order to modify the attribute. I'll post in the other thread anyway and see what kind of response I get.

Ok, i didn't see that. Hopefully it is related to the same API/Charsheet issue.
