Token Actions and Dropdowns

Hello All, I apologize if the solution for this is obvious, please don't crucify me for stupidity. :) I am attempting to use&nbsp;%{selected|repeating_npcaction_$0_npc_action} as a token action.&nbsp; If the string is added into the action by itself it behaves as expected, however when attempting to combine several of these actions into a single drop-down as described in&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros#Drop-Down_Prompts_f" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros#Drop-Down_Prompts_f</a>... it outputs the literal text to the chatlog instead of parsing it. I have tested that the output is correct by copying the output from the chat log and re-entering it, which results in the correct ability card being shown. Here is the string I am using the the Token Ability: ?{Select Attack|Disarming Strike,%&#123;selected&#124;repeating_npcaction_$2_npc_action&#125;|Dagger,%&#123;selected&#124;repeating_npcaction_$5_npc_action&#125;} Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Please note that I am correctly using the HTML codes for {, |, and }.&nbsp; This forum is automatically translating them when I enter them.

You might find the answer in this section:&nbsp; <a href="https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros#Advanced_Usage_for_" rel="nofollow">https://wiki.roll20.net/Macros#Advanced_Usage_for_</a>... It seem to indicate that you don't need to HTML escape the calls to abilities.&nbsp; I've not tried to call abilities from Roll Queries, so I'm not well versed.

Unfortunately not using the HTML codes breaks the dropdown portion of the action: I am expecting to see:

Bummer.&nbsp; Maybe Silvyre can help. He's a wiz at these things...

Hi Mister Nibbles , This post explains why you're having trouble with nesting Ability calls (e.g. %{selected|repeating_npcaction_$0_npc_action}) within a Roll Query. That post does not provide a solution to your specific issue, but this post&nbsp;by Scott C. discusses your specific issue in detail and provides two workarounds. I hope this helps, and let me know if you have any further questions!
