macros (except js ones) are a type of template, use <$text
text=<<myVariable>>/>
to see the result of you variables when used as attributes.
try instead
<$set name="myVariable"
filter="[field:title{$:/status/UserName}get[created]]">
<$button>Click<$action-sendmessage message="whatever" field=<<myVariable>>
/></$button></$set>
all the best
