Wake On Lan doesn't work after autoshutdown suspend

I'm super desperate. I'm not a linux expert and I'm having issues with this for months now.
I've found out that the autoshutdown plugin sends "systemctl suspend" when suspending
but I can't wake the computer via Wake on Lan afterwards, which is bad since I need this NAS for work.
What should I do, where do I start?!

the thing is it used to work.
the dropdown menu "sleep" (which issues pm-suspend) works perfectly with WOL. (WOL flag g is set as well)
I've also found that autoshutdown issues "systemctl suspend" which doesn't work at all and just shuts down the machine. I manually edited the config (/etc/autoshutdown.conf) to issue pm-suspend, which works now as it always did. yay!
problem is, as soon as I change something in the WebGUI it reverts the autoshutdown.conf to systemctl suspend.
Is there a way to either lock the config or to not let it revert to systemctl suspend?

thanks! I did exactly that and now it's working.
