5th Edition OGL by Roll20 - How do I vary the number of dice rolled based on the spell slot used to calculate the spell's damage?

Hi there, I am trying to add the damage  for the spell "Witch Bolt" in the Attacks & Spellcasting area of my character sheet. But I don't know how write it so the number of d12 rolled based on the level the spell is cast at. Can someone help me? It's supposed to do 1d12 + an additional d12 for each slot level above first. So 2nd Level would be 2d12, 3rd level would be 3d12 and so on.

Higher Lvl Cast Dmg is a feature of attacks set up via the Spell Page . After creating 'Witch Bolt' on the Spell Page and toggling its Output to Attack , set its Higher Lvl Cast Dmg to 1 d12.

Thanks! EDIT Hmm...this works, but is there a way to do the "on each of your turns for the duration, you may choose to deal 1d12 lightning damage to the target automatically"? This damage is not increased at higher levels. I realize this is quite complex, and that's probably why it's not included as one of the spells in your list.

you can use your action to deal 1d12 lightning damage I recommend rolling that damage separately, e.g. with a macro like /em uses his action to deal [[ 1d12 ]] lighting damage with Witch Bolt.
