im playing a paladin, so my spellcasting modifier is Charisma. my Charisma is 20(+5). However, in the ‘spells’ section of my character sheet, it shows that my spellcasting modifier is +1, which is my wisdom mod. This also affects my spell attack mod, my Save DC and how many spells I can prepare. Any way for me to fix it?
Clarification: It appears the DC number is correct, but it is mislabeled? So it is using the number from CHA, but in the spell list the label on the spell says WIS?
As the screenshot shows, the character has a +2 bonus to charisma. This is also being used for the spellcasting modifiers.
Modifier: +2 ... this is the ability bonus from charisma. Spell Attack: +4 ... this is the ability bonus from charisma (+2) plus the character's proficiency bonus of +2. Save DC: 12 ... this is the calculated as 8 + the ability bonus from charisma (+2) plus the character's proficiency bonus of +2.
Please can you explain what you consider the bug to be?

Are you referring to the references to Wisdom saving throws in the command and Wrathful Smite spells? Those are the saving throws the target must make to avoid (or reduce) the affects of the spells, and are baked into the spells. They don’t change based on the caster’s casting state. See, for example, Thunderous Smite, which has a STR saving throw.

First, the problem you describe is completely different than what the OP described, so it is safe to say the the bug is not still active. Also, the OP's problem was likely that they had a manual override applied to their CHA score.
You say the numbers are right, but the labels are wrong. The only ability labels I can think that go on spells is what type of save they are (not the ability that determines the spell save DC).
just to avoid any confusion, please can you screenshot and circle in red or something the number that you are referring to that you believe is incorrect?

btw I’m not multiclassing, just a lvl 5 paladin
Can you post here the web address of that character sheet?
This bug is still active.
