D&D 5e (not shaped) template question

I made the following macro for my lil' fighter's Goading Attack: &{template:5eDefault} {{weapon=1}} {{title=@{meleeweaponname1}}} {{subheader=@{character_name}}} {{subheaderright=Melee Attack}} {{attack=[[1d20cs>@{meleeweaponcritrange1} + @{meleetohit1} + (@{global_melee_attack_bonus}) ]]}} {{attackadv=[[1d20cs>@{meleeweaponcritrange1} + @{meleetohit1} + (@{global_melee_attack_bonus}) ]]}} {{damage=[[@{meleedmg1} + @{meleedmgbonus1} + (@{global_melee_damage_bonus} + @{superiority_die})]] @{meleedmgtype1}}} {{critdamage=Additional [[@{meleecritdmg1}+@{superiority_die}]] damage}} {{freetextname=Goading Attack}} {{freetext=The target must make a DC [[8+@{PB}+@{strength_mod}]] Wisdom saving throw. On a failed save, the target has disadvantage on all attack rolls against targets other than you until the end of your next turn.}} "superiority_die" is a custom attribute I added to the character sheet so I don't have to manually dig through all my macros when the die changes at higher levels. So far so good, works perfectly fine. Last game however this happened: I had a "Bless" spell on me at that point and I entered the 1d4 bonus into the global melee attack bonuses field on the character sheet. Now, that 1d4 apparently rolled a 4 for both the standard and the advantage attack roll, which triggered them to show as a critical hits, which in turn triggered the crit damage lines to show. (I have a +6 to hit for melee attacks on this character, so a crit would show a 26 without the 1d4 bonus). That's obviously not how it's supposed to work. Is there anything I can do from my end to fix this?
Try 1d4cs0cf0 instead; this will disable roll highlighting for the d4 roll.
Not to correct Silvyre who is the macro master, but I believe syntax should be 1d4cs 5 cf0.

That would work too. :)
Learn something new every day, didn't realize that also setting cs0 would disable the highlighting for that as well!
Thanks! Hopefully I'll remember that hand full the next time I'll get blessed. :)

Well, you'd really only need to remember to add cs0 (the red highlighting on a 1 won't affect whether or not the critical fields display). :)
