[5e] Character sheet weapon macro question

So I am using the dnd 5e character sheet for my game and within the weapons section I am trying to make it so it will show two different damage types with rolls but I can;t seem to figure out how. The weapon is a holy avenger and when I hits certain creatures it does extra damage, 2d6 normal and then 2d8 radiant. I would like the weapon attack to show both the damages separately, is that possible ?

Moved to Character Sheets forum as this is specific to one sheet. No doubt you'll have the experts here in no time :)
ah thank you and sorry for putting in the wrong spot, I have been having a hard time with this. 
Are you using the Shaped sheet?
There is a space for additional damage on the 5e shaped sheet but on the standard 5e sheet there is no place for it so you would need to add that manually. I suggest adding it after the damage type. In the weapon damaged type where you would normally enter slashing, instead type: slashing plus [[2d8]] radiant. Then it will show up inline with the regular attack damage.

You won't be the first person with the problem for sure and there is no point reinventing the wheel unless you are using the experience as part of your individual learning curve :)

Secondary damage on the Shaped sheet is indeed intended for just these type of purposes. Manually adding it to the normal sheet is hacky, and will work except when you crit.
