We just acquired a Circlet of Blasting and I noticed that it's using the regular spell attack bonus instead of the fixed +5 to hit in the list of spells. Here's the character that has the item, for reference:
Unfortunately it's not currently possible to make the spell appear with the +5 bonus.
The homebrew update will hopefully add actions to magic items, which means that official magic items will also have much more flexibility as well and this can be represented then.
Very cool. I agree that the current homebrew system is fairly awkward, especially if you're not used to thinking about rules in computer-oriented ways.
Two years later we're still waiting for the homebrew update. It's obvious that you're busy with other tasks like the Encounter Builder and other VTT features. It would be great if you could fix the CURRENT homebrew system to add a few extra fields in the meantime.
I recently got a Circlet of Blasting and I have the same issue. It's very hard to remember to only use +5, especially since there is not support for custom notes in the spells list. Thanks.

They just (the past two weeks) rolled out the new Character Sheet Framework (they have been working on it for almost a year). The Developers are just banishing the last remaining code devils that are clinging on. That had to happen first in order for the character sheet to actually make use of those other suggested changes. Once that task has been buttoned-up then the other changes (such as correcting the Circlet of Blasting) can finally start getting checked off of their To Do list.
Is it possible we could get one of the following implemented while we wait for this to be fixed ? Custom Actions for Spells Customise Spells (like we can weapons)? - The ability to override the 2 hit bonus for a spell and/or spell gained from an item.

Okay cool, no worries!
"The homebrew update"
Where can I read about this wonderful sounding thing? :)
Badeye has mentioned it on at least one of the & Beyond Q&A stream.
The short version is that the team are not happy with the current homebrew solution and feel they can greatly improve on it.
