Bug: D&D 2024 Character sheet - Heavy Crossbow rolls with Disadvantage when Dexterity is greater than 13

The rules as written for a Heavy weapon are as stated: You have Disadvantage on attack rolls with a Heavy weapon if it’s a Melee weapon and your Strength score isn’t at least 13 or if it’s a Ranged weapon and your Dexterity score isn’t at least 13. The character has a dexterity of 17, and when we roll to attack with a Heavy Crossbow, when rolls are set to Automatic for determining advantage/disadvantage, the attack is always at disadvantage. I tried setting the character's Strength to 13 as a test, and this fixed the issue. Rules as written, since the character's Dexterity is at least 13, this should not impose Disadvantage

Hi Kevin G.,  As stated in your other thread. As a workaround, I suggest using a weapon that has the other properties you want, especially the Weapon Mastery. Then modify it to match the Heavy Crossbow.  To let Roll20 know please file a Help Center request if you have not done so already.
Bug also happening for longbow, both are considered "heavy". Any heavy ranged weapon.

Righto! I submitted a Help Center request yesterday afternoon, so fingers crossed that we will see a fix for this soon.
