You can set a custom damage resistance to Damage from Spells in your character sheet. Damage from Spells is not an option to choose from when setting a modifier for Resistance in a homebrew magic item. Am I overlooking something?
Public Mod Note
(Sorce):
Moved to homebrew subforum
The only modifiers and subtypes in the system are ones that are required by the official options available to PCs. Nothing official that I am aware of grants resistance to spell damage to a PC, things instead usually grant advantage to saving throws against spells. That modifier does exist, we just have to add in “against spells” under the details.

I figured it out. The only thing I found that grants Resistance to Spell damage is the Aura of Warding for the Oath of Ancients. The way that feature is programmed is that it grants resistance to all, and then has “to damage from spells” in the description/restrictions field. That is how the actual class feature is set up.

That’s how I figured out how to do most things in the homebrewer. I’m like a dog on a bone until I either figure out how to do it, or that it can’t be done.
I'm not seeing "to damage from spells" showing up, even when just checking out the Pal OaA 7 to see what it looks like. Just Resistance to All, no explanation, just a source. Granted the source describes the effect and I encourage more source linking. I hope they can carve out a section that can display a modifier's description instead of making it another click away. I'm all for minimizing the number of clicks to get somewhere in a tool.
