Star Trek Adventures - Challenge Dice

I'm in a few Star Trek Adventures campaigns that use the Official Roll20 character sheets. The one downside to these otherwise outstanding sheets is that the challenge dice don't display "0" for 1d6 rolls of 3 and 4, so it's hard for players to know (a) whether the sheet has rolled the correct number of dice, and (b) how many dice they might wish to reroll by spending Momentum. I traced this down into the code, beginning around line 891, where the RollBetween function returns a null result for values of 3 and 4. Changing this return to 0 makes the number visible. Incidentally, making this change alerted me to the fact that ship weapons were firing too much damage, as they were adding ship scale, ship security, and the weapon damage to determine how many dice to roll. Having made the change as a custom character sheet in my own Star Trek Adventures campaign, I'd like to request that replacing the null return with 0 be added to the official version of the character sheet. If there's a way I can do this rather than requiring a Roll20 developer to go through and do the work, I'd be happy to.

Hello. The v1.5 version of the sheet, released today, now show 0 results on the challence dice in the roll template: Any feedback appreciated :)
Being able to see the zeroes is a huge  improvement, thank you! If I could make one request, though, it would be to have the zeroes show up the same size as the other numerals. Thanks again!

Thanks again! Thanks for the feedback, Phoenix Blue. I made several tests with various colours / text size for the "0" value, and found it easier to count/spot the non zero values with this reddish smaller 0, when lots of dice are rolled (this example beneath is a little over the top, though ;) ). That said, that's a personal preference and I can change it to regular size.
I actually like that 0 is visibly different, makes it easier to count.
