[D&D 4e] Update new power templates into text fields?

Hey all. Long time user, first time posting. Are the 4e character sheets ever going to be updated with the new power templates? The  new templates look fantastic but I would love to be able to able to use them without tearing through a hundred Google Sheets. That level of complexity is terrifying to poor level ones like me, and the old macros are horribly outdated compared to the shiny new ones, especially when most of the shiny new ones are 100% there. Any hope for streamlining the process into text fields? I realize that, as a person with barely rudimentary programming knowledge, I have no concept of the monster of a task I'm likely asking for. I'm sure that if this was a simple process, it would have been shipped out with the original update, so if I'm bringing up hell on earth, just let me know.

It's already been updated, back in July. If you click the ability roll buttons, for example, you should get the new roll templates automatically. If you want them for your power macros, you'll have to edit them in yourself, since all of the power roll buttons on the 4e sheet are created manually. There's  documentation for the roll template on the wiki.
Yes, the power macros are what I was referring to. Do you have any plans to make it possible to create power roll buttons automatically via text fields? Is that even possible given the sheer number of variables involved?

There is no way the power macros could be done automatically. There are too many possible powers in 4e. (Also, while I am a  sheet author, I am not the author of the 4e sheet.)
Gotcha. Thanks a ton for the info.
