Missing Attributes for Monsters on 5e SRD Compendium

Hi, I'm setting up some monsters for my campaign assigning 'em tokens. I'm using macro system to roll attacks and other dies directly from the monster NPC sheet. I've noticed that some monsters (Baboon for example) doesn't show the attack action neither on the sheet nor inside the text chat box when I try to use the macro related to % {selected|repeating_npcaction_$0_npc_action} which is the first and unique action the baboon has in his sheet. No action is shown on the sheet. But if I hit the cog icon I can see the bite action set up on the editable sheet: Am I doing something wrong or this is simply a bug? How can I resolve similar issues? Do I have to fill manually a brand new NPC-Sheet? Thanks.
I came across this issue too if you remove the line in the 'on hit' and input an actual minus - it should then work for you, not sure why its like this tbh was meant to raise it last time I encountered it but forgot
Oh yes now it works. I put this in the "on hit" line: 1d4-1 and the die rolls correctly. I don't know how it works but I think that there should be an "embedded" macro inside every action and the previous sign mess up the code. Thank you for your help.

Gianmarco, Is this with the SRD monster entries or with the Monster Manual entries?

@Kristin, its the SRD i believe i havent come across the issue since having the MM though I have move to shaped sheets recently which might make a difference. it seems cause by the symbol not actually being a minus (-) sign in the 'on hit' box. from what I remember it is common through most entries that have a negative to their damage modifier.

Gotcha. I looked over to our SRD version of the Compendium and see the emdash in use instead of a minus symbol. I'll talk to the Devs to see if we can do something like a find and replace rather than a manual correction. Thank you for pointing it out!
Oh yes Kristin, as James F. stated the bug regards the SRD.

I walked through our Compendium and I believe I discovered all the errant em dashes still floating around the OGL SRD entries: Ape, Baboon, and Jackal. If you drag and drop those entries from the Compendium, their attacks should now fill out their damage correctly. If you see any more, just let me know of the entry name and I'll fix those too.
