D&D 5E: Negative Global Modifiers not working properly

Edited 1587778263
In a recent game my players fought an enemy which placed a debuff on them that reduced their Attacks and Saves by 1d4. I figured the easiest way to do this was for them to add a Global Save Modifier of -1d4 and Global Attack Modifier of -1d4 . Unfortunately, we discovered that this resulted not in a proper roll of 1d4, but an automatic result of 1, every time, as shown here. One of my clever players figured out that we could fix this by changing the entry from -1d4 to -1*1d4 Additionally, -1d4 seems to actually work as long as it's not the only modifier being applied.

Edit: nevermind, my suggestion is wrong.

Try entering: 0-1d4
