Fetch

Fetch^(Forum) offers a unified syntax to expand the amount of things that can be retrieved with simple token or sheet calls. You can retrieve any token property, sheet attribute, or repeating attribute.

(Meta Script) Fetch (Thread 2)^(Forum)
Fetch 2.0 Documentation (most up to date)^(Forum)

Token property : @(selected.currentside)
Sheet Attribute: @(selected.Strength)
Sheet Attribute: @(Bob the Hirsute.Strength.max)
Repeating Attr : *(Englebert Slaptiback.spells.[spell_name~Fireball prepared].spell_roll)

It also expands the source of the returned sheet item to include "speaker".

@(speaker.Strength.max)

... and can return the rowID of a repeating attribute, the row number ($0), or the name of either brand of reference.

Not only do these offer the advantage of not breaking the chat message if they don't exist (the way a standard token or sheet item call would), they also give you the ability to substitute in a default value should the one you are looking for not exist:

@(The President of Burundi.Coffee[default value here])

Syntax

@(Bob.Strength.max)                                               => max value
@(Bob|Strength|max)                                               => pipes or periods work
@(Bob.Strength[0])                                                => default value if Strength doesn't exist
@(Bob.Strength.max[0])                                            => default value if max value of Strength doesn't exist

@(selected.imgsrc_short)                                          => The token's source image, leaving off everything after the '?', returning just the workable image URL.
@(selected.tooltip)                                               => Returns the token's tooltip text.
@(selected.show_tooltip)                                          => Returns the toggle status for whether the tooltip should be shown. NOTE: currently the status of this property is not accurately reported to the API when a change is made in the UI. This is a bug that Roll20 will have to address.

!token-mod --ids @(Charlie.token_id) --current-page --move =90|1g
