Not understanding how the player initiative macro works

Currently DMing a D&D 5e game, and I'm trying to dabble into macros for the first time. Most of the macros I took from the internet work perfectly, but I'm having problems with this one:  /emas @{selected|token_name} rolls a [[1d20+?{modifier|0}&{tracker}]] for initiative! It's supposed to roll initiative for the players and add them to the turn order. Everything works perfectly, but the initiative bonus doesen't get added to the dice roll. I've read that I'm supposed to " have an Attribute in Journal Entry linked to that token called 'initiative'", but being new at this I don't understand what that means. Anyone can help?

I can see why that's confusing, it's not the most descriptive sentence. Basically it's just saying that your character sheet should have a number saved somewhere called "initiative". On the OGL sheet for PC's and NPC's the bonus is labeled "initiative_bonus" and not "initiative" though. So you would just need to reference that instead for your macro (example below). /emas @{selected|token_name} rolls a [[1d20+ @{selected|initiative_bonus} +?{modifier|0}&{tracker}]] for initiative!

Hello I used the initiative button of the sheet and then pressed the up arrow of the keyboard in the chat to get the "formula" and used this in the macro :)

Now it works perfectly! Thanks, this taught me a bunch of stuff for the future :P
