I want to give an NPC the ability to use Second Wind, I've made a few attempts with no succes.
Is there anything wrong with this notation?:
Second Wind: The Marshal can use a bonus action to regain (1d10+5); {"diceNotation":"1d10+5","rollType":"roll","rollAction":"Second Wind"} once per short rest.
*Just in case, I know the notation goes between rollable /rollable notations, can't write the whole snippet or it wont show up.
It seems to work on the thread but not on the monster sheet in the combat tracker/encounter builder
I tried rollType: heal and roll
I looked at other monsters, the Champion has the Second Wind feature but it gains a set amount. Ultimately if there's no way to fix it I could go that route but really would like to make it rollable.
Unless the forum ate it, it looks like you're missing the [rollable] tags around it, also the rollType you want is heal, so it should probably look something like:
The Marshal can use a bonus action to regain [rollable](1d10+5);{"diceNotation":"1d10+5","rollType":"heal","rollAction":"Second Wind"}[/ rollable] once per short rest.
You'll need to remove the space from the closing [/rollable] (forum eats it otherwise).
You can read more about the options see more examples here.

You could even do this to save space on the statblock; (I do):
Second Wind (1/Short Rest). The Marshal can regain [rollable](1d10+5);{"diceNotation":"1d10+5","rollType":"heal","rollAction":"Second Wind"}[/ rollable] HP.
You don’t need to mention that it’s a bonus action since it’ll be in the monster’s Bonus Action section. (You would still have to get rid of the space as Haravikk said.)

I do have the notation between the [rollable] [/ rollable]
The thing is on the monster details page it shows the (1d10+5)
But when I select the monster on the encounter builder it doesn't allow to roll it. Wish I could share screen shots.
You probably have one or more regular document quotation marks somewhere in there instead of the basic txt quotation marks. There’s a difference between the quotation marks that get used in standard document typing ( “like these” ) as opposed to the plain txt versions the dice roller needs ( "like these" ). They’re coded differently and the normal document quotation marks mess up the rollable.
Wow, okay. I took a look at the raw html for your rollable and you had a wackton of errant code in there from who knows where. This is what your rollable looks like in html:
And this is what it’s sposta look like (with the extra space in there):
Here is a clean version, copy/paste it and delete the extra space and it should work fine for you:
