Nested Macro issue

Hello,

Background info-
I've been putting "in bar" macro buttons that send the gm a /w message clickable buttons on it in chat, an example of this is the below NPC name generator and dice roller.

NPC name generator

/w gm &{template:default} {{name=Name Generator}} {{Race=[Imperial](!
#Imperial-Name-Generator ) [Breton](!
#Breton-Name-Generator ) [Nord](!
#Nord-Name-Generator ) [Redgaurd](!
#Redguard-Name-Generator ) [Altmer](!
#Altmer-Name-Generator ) [Bosmer](!
#Bosmer-Name-Generator ) [Dunmer](!
#Dunmer-Name-Generator ) [Orsimer](!
#Orsimer-Name-Generator ) [Khajiit](!
#Khajiit-Name-Generator ) [Argonian](!
#Argonian-Name-Generator ) }}

This links to smaller macros that link to other roll-able tables:

/w gm &{template:default} {{name=Nord Name Generator}} {{description=[[1t[Nord-First]]][[1t[Nord-Last]]]}}

Dice roller

/w gm &{template:default} {{name=Dice Roller}} {{Dice=[1 Die](!
#1-Die ) [2 Dice](!
#2-Dice ) [3 Dice](!
#3-Dice ) [4 Dice](!
#4-Dice ) [5 Dice](!
#5-Dice ) [6 Dice](!
#6-Dice ) }}

This links to smaller macros with the /roll command in them:

/r ?{Dice|d6|d8|d10|d20|d100} ?{Modifier}

When using either of these macros they post a /gm message with buttons on them to select how many dice you want to roll or what racial name you want generated.


I'm trying to do this with character sheet rolls so that my players can roll an ability without others being able to see and without having to do anything complicated. This is what I used to do that:

/w gm &{template:default} {{name=Whisper Abilities}} {{Ability=[Acrobatics](!
#Acrobatics-Check ) [Athletics](!
#Athletics-Check ) [Bluff](!
#Bluff-Check ) [Computers](!
#Computers-Check ) [Culture](!
#Culture-Check ) [Diplomacy](!
#Diplomacy-Check ) [Disguise](!
#Disguise-Check ) [Engineering](!
#Engineering-Check ) [Intimidate](!
#Intimidate-Check ) [Life Science](!
#Life-Science-Check ) [Medicine](!
#Medicine-Check ) [Mysticism](!
#Mysticism-Check ) [Perception](!
#Perception-Check ) [Physical Science](!
#Physical-Science-Check ) [Piloting](!
#Piloting-Check ) [1st Profession](!
#Profession-1-Check ) [2nd Profession](!
#Profession-2-Check ) [Sense Motive](!
#Sense-Motive-Check ) [Sleight of Hand](!
#Sleight-of-Hand-Check ) [Stealth](!
#Stealth-Check ) [Survival](!
#Survival-Check ) }}

This links to smaller macros that contain the character sheet roll:

/w gm %{selected|Survival-Check}

The problem-
Individually the macros work how they should however when I use the combined one it just rolls all the abilities rather than posting the menu.


Anyone have an idea/suggestions on how to fix this? I'm probly just overlooking something super obvious but at the same time I'm not every experienced with any of this and have really only gotten this far because of the wiki and forums. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Tried duplicating your results in an sandbox environment and was unsuccessful. If you've any scripts running, try disabling all of them and see if the output continues to spam everything. If not, turn them on bit by bit to determine the script affecting the output.
I only had one script running and unfortunately turning it off didn't change anything for me. I recently broke the macro though because I've been editing the skills in the character sheet so I'll have to come back to this later. Thank you for the help though.
