Possible to query spell slot level in critical damage field of a weapon?

Hi guys, Setting up a custom weapon for Shadow Blade. Currently, I have ?{Level|2nd,2d8|3rd,3d8|4th,3d8|5th,4d8|6th,4d8|7th+,5d8} in the damage field to let me choose the damage based on what level I have the spell cast at. Is there any way for me to do this for the critical damage as well? I am not particularly good at this kinda thing, and it has me a bit stumped if it is even possible. Thanks for any help.
A few things: 1: It's always important to identify which game and character sheet template you are using. I'm going to assume the D&D 5th Edition using the 'D&D 5E by Roll20' character sheet template. 2: For any queries you can simplify/shorten the query by moving any repeated part outside of the query, such as: ?{Level|2nd,2|3rd,3|4th,3|5th,4|6th,4|7th+,5} d8 Not a huge difference for your query, but it can be helpful for longer queries. 3: To add the same damage to a critical hit, you just need to copy the same macro into the 'crit' field.  Actually, you can simplify it even more by not including the whole macro, because when it gets rolled it is reusing the same query, which means you can omit all of the options. So if you used the query above in the damage field, then in the crit field you can use this: ?{Level} d8 Clicking on the custom 'Shadow Blade' attack, selecting '3rd level', and getting a crit produced this result:

Thank you for taking the time to help, was able to achieve exactly what I was after with ?{Level}*8 in the crit damage field. Also shortened my initial damage query like you suggested.
