I just created a Fighter (https://ddb.ac/characters/81060535/s3fScP) with the Dueling fighting style which states: "When you are wielding a melee weapon in one hand and no other weapons, you gain a +2 bonus to damage rolls with that weapon."
That said, the bonus is not being calculated properly by DDB. I tried equipping two light weapons but the Dueling bonus was still being given. When using a 2h-weapon, then the bonus isn't present.
Is this a bug or DDB does not support the feature of calculating how many weapons the character is using to apply or not the bonuses?
Most folks just equip all their weapons so that they can see all possible attacks, so the character sheet doesn't want to assume that you're actually holding your bow, your dagger and your greatsword all at once, and instead just says 'OK, this weapon is a weapon that can apply the Dueling bonus, so I'll apply it and trust that the user knows the other requirements of being able to apply the bonus.'

I understand, but this way I'm not able to roll without the extra +2 from Dueling bonus, right?
I mean, I can manually roll my 1d8 and just do the simple math, but is it possible to do it automatically? Maybe change the bonus being calculated into the attack? Or I'll have to manually subtract 2 if I roll the weapon damage or add 2 if I just roll the die? Or I'll have to create a custom action to do it so?
Thanks!
EDIT: I just realized that you can customize a weapon that you have, so I just set a -2 to damage bonus and it works. But this should have a better solution...
If you customize one of those weapons as “dual wield” it should nullify the fighting style and remove the bonus.
It should, but it isn't. And worse, it's adding the dueling damage bonus to the dual wielded weapon, which should never qualify for it, as it is explicitly a second weapon.

Please post a link to your character sheet so someone can look into it for you.
