ChatSetAttr to insert reference to other attribute in attribute field

I want to use the !setattr function to add an attribute called "talk" to all characters in my game. I want the attribute field to read something like: !as @{target|token_name} I have nothing to say to you My players will then use a macro which simply contains @{target|talk} to get a message as if the target was speaking. By default I want this to be "I have nothing...". I will then change this depending on the character. However, when using the following function call: !setattr --all --talk|!as @{target|token_name} I have nothing to say to you.  I get a request for a target, which is then substituted in place of @{target|token_name} in the attribute field of @{talk}. I want it instead to simply write the letters @{target|token_name} into the field. I have tried using inverted commas around "@{target|token_name}" but the same problem. Many thanks for your help.

Try: !setattr --all --talk|!as @{target|token_name} I have nothing to say to you.

That's very nearly worked, but it seems to have split the attribute field into a value and a maximum value. Example: Setting talk to !as @{target / token_name} I have nothing to say to you. for character Tim. Which appears like:  I think I had this problem earlier when I was messing around, but I am not sure why it is splitting it like that.

Probably that's a ChatSetAttr argument thing.  Try: !setattr --all --talk|!as @{target|token_name} I have nothing to say to you.

The Aaron said: Probably that's a ChatSetAttr argument thing.  Try: !setattr --all --talk|!as @{target|token_name} I have nothing to say to you. Bah. Same problem. I get: Setting talk to !as @{target& / 124;token_name} I have nothing to say to you. for character Tim.

That is obnoxious. It must be splitting on | and #. Check the help, there might be a way to bracket or escape it. I'll have to check next time I'm at my computer. 

I thought I'd solved the problem by putting a backspace after target i.e.  !setattr--talk|!as @{target\|token_name} I have nothing to say to you. This seems to put the correct words into the attribute field, but querying that attribute gives me something rather strange: t;{target|token_name} I have nothing to say to you.
