Macro to do a /GMRoll at Skill Modifier on Pathfinder Character Sheet

So... as the title says, I want to be able to do a skill check for my players without them seeing the result. I want a general macro that I can use for all my players, by selecting one of them and hitting the macro. I was thinking something like /gmroll 1d20 + @{selected|Stealth}. What am I doing wrong here? Also... is there a way to do a /gmroll but have it show up as an Inline roll like [[1d20]] ?
You're doing it correctly. Are the token's linked to the character journal correctly? Do they have the attribute that you're referencing defined on their sheet? I don't know if /whisper GM would suit your needs, but maybe.

You can use macros in gm roll. So if you have an attribute with the skill total, you can simply: /gr #Perception Keep in mind if your macro uses the 'selected' or 'target' commands, you won't be able to do a /gm roll with it. For my Perception macro, I have it written as such: /me performs a Perception check. /roll 1d20 + @{selected|Perception} So this macro I can't use in a GM roll since it uses the 'selected' command. If your macro does not use 'selected' or 'target'. As Phnord pointed out below (thanks for that, by the way), you can Whisper a macro to GM in place of trying /gr to use the 'selected' or 'target' commands.
/w gm [[1d20+@{target|stealth}]] Works just fine for me?

The new version of the sheet does GM rolls for the NPC buttons. Give those a shot and see if that works for you.

/gmroll [[1d20+@{target|stealth}]] Seems to work too. What am I missing?

It works fine for me actually. I had a bad macro. Total user error. Now... anyone know how to roll a inline GMroll?
You can't do inline /gmroll. You can only do /w gm [[inline roll]].
