"Spell attack : none" only works with auto damage roll enabled ( D&D 5e character sheet)

Title says most of it but to clarify: if you have a spell with a save and no damage and set the spell attack to none while auto damage roll is dissabled and use the spell it will display the save DC box and an enmpty damage roll box: if you enable auto damage roll and do this it works as intended and only shows the save DC box:

That's a pretty unusual use case for the Attacks & Spellcasting section - it's intention is for abilities which cause damage.  The intent of the sheet is to output non-damage spells as spellcards - but there's a few odd ones like this that don't fit the templates when used aggressively. What's happening here, is the output for "auto roll damage" goes to the template {atkdmg}. This template allows the toggling of different sections, so you can switch the damage & attack sections off with {{attack=}} and {{damage=}}. The output for "don't auto roll damage" either goes to the {atk} template (if there's an attack roll), or the {dmg} template (if no attack roll). You cannot toggle the attack section off on the {atk} template, and you cannot toggle the damage section off on the {dmg} template, as they are the core sections of those templates. There is no {save} template, as this is probably not really a use case the sheet authors had in mind. A workaround is to use the damage sections - switch off the save section, tick the box for damage output, and change the damage roll to this (including the braces and stuff at the start): 0]]}}{{dmg1=CON DC[[@{spell_save_dc} And change the damage type to "Saving Throw" or something similar.
