Looking To Change Weapon Attack Mod in PROPS/MODS Section

I have a paladin who has a weapon that's going to use his CON mod for attack and damage rolls on his weapon instead of STR or DEX.  What tag can I put in the weapon's 'PROP:' or 'MODS:' field to make this change? I'm using the "D&D 5e by Roll20" sheet
Does anyone have an idea of how to do this or am I posting in the wrong place perhaps?
Try this link which has a list of options that may be what you're looking for:&nbsp; <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5699857/list-of-available-mods-that-work-with-the-5e-oglsheet/?pageforid=5700528" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/5699857/list-of-available-mods-that-work-with-the-5e-oglsheet/?pageforid=5700528</a>
Unfortunately I've tried what is on there and the wiki page and they do not accomplish this

You should simply need to select "con" as the ability to base the attack off of in the action's entry on the character sheet: The same drop down is available for both damages as well.
Yes, but as these weapons are growing with the party, their stats are updated in the 'PROP' and 'MODS' section.&nbsp; When that happens, it resets any changes directly to the item like that.&nbsp; That's why I'm looking to change the variable in 'PROP' or 'MODS' section, as you can do for just about every other variable

What I do is create a new item with proper name and weight, then I create an independent attack which I setup and update appropriately. I also add code as needed. Playing with item mods only works for Armor for me. Not for weapons. Hope that helps.
So, I take it this is not currently possible?&nbsp; Where would be best to add a suggested feature for the sheet?

You can try responding in the official feedback thread:&nbsp; D&amp;D 5th Edition by Roll20 (Q2Y2021) , or the Suggestion forum. But the solutions above are really better. Just blank out all mods, and create a custom attack. You can link to whatever ability score you want. It's far more flexible than the mod system, which is mostly there to facilitate drag and drop.
