I'm having trouble Using a drop menu macro

Hello Roll20 Community I'm building a drop down macro for my monk. What I'm trying to do is make one for all my Ki point options. I was having trouble making multiple lines in a response, so I thought it would be a good idea to try importing other macros into it. It does this weird thing. &{template:default}{{name=Ki Point}}?{Ki Type|Furry of Blows,#FurryBlows|Stunning Strike,#StunningStrike|Patient Defense,#PatientDefense|Step of the Wind, #StepWind|Noxious Aura, #NoxiousAura|Hands of Harm, #HandsHarm} If I put no space after the imported macro, the drop menu works but the macro doesn't work. If I put a space after the imported macro, the drop down doesn't work but the imported macro works. The following is an example of an imported macro for FurryBlows: &{template:default}{{name=Ki Point - Furry of Blows}}{{Fists of Ares= Magic Damage}}{{3. To Hit=[[1d20ro1+8]] Slashing Dmg [[1d10+5]]}}{{4. To Hit=[[1d20ro1+8]] Slashing Dmg [[1d10+5]]}} I feel so close to solving this, but it just feels over my head. I'm new to macros and I like the idea of the drop down menu so I can keep my button space available on the screen. Any advice is more than welcomed. 
Hi Wilos, I am afraid I cannot be extremely helpful but I would like to mention that I have recently reported a similar issue:&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/9923955/issue-with-calling-character-sheet-macros-from-drop-down-menu" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/9923955/issue-with-calling-character-sheet-macros-from-drop-down-menu</a> . Can anybody help???

The OP issue is somewhat different to yours Matteo (I've posted on yours for you too). The issue here is that you are calling problematic syntax from a query which is expanded as part of the original chat message and therefore breaks the whole thing. There is also an issue with having a second template start nested within the macro. The easiest option here would be to have a single macro that calls the menu for the desired macros to prevent html replacements and/or broken collection macros: &amp;{template:default}{{name=Ki Point Selector}}{{[Flurry of Blows](!&amp;#13;#FlurryBlows )[Stunning Strike](!&amp;#13;#StunningStrike )[Patient Defense](!&amp;#13;#PatientDefense )[Step of the Wind](!&amp;#13;#StepWind )[Noxious Aura](!&amp;#13;#NoxiousAura )[Hands of Harm](!&amp;#13;#HandsHarm )}} You might want to put a /w command in front of it to avoid spamming chat for the others in the game but this menu will allow you to call your other macros with no other changes needed... please note that I also fixed a type in Flurry of Blows (and the subsequent #FlurryBlows macro call) although I really &nbsp;hope it is actually a Furry of Blows!!!
Thank you for your help and attention. Now when the macro runs with your recommendations, it does something weird to the chat and now no one can type in it. :(

This sounds like a corrupted Chat Archive. A game's Creator is often able to fix issues with their Text Chat by&nbsp; clearing the Chat Archive &nbsp;(note: not&nbsp; clearing your current Chat Log ). A GM might want to copy/back up the Chat Archive before the Creator clears it.
Great, thank you for the responses.&nbsp;
