5E Sheet - How to show NPC attack as Melee & Ranged?

I have been creating a number of NPCs and when inputting a weapon with both ranged and melee options I have found that the only options in the drop down are 'Melee' or 'Ranged'. I have noticed in some of the official WotC modules NPCs are shown with the 'Melee or Ranged' information shown in this space. Does anyone know how it is possible to achieve this? Any help would be most appreciated :)
This selection is not currently possible, with the only values available being Melee or Ranged, not both. My recommendation is to leave the attack as a Melee attack and then put "or Ranged X/Y ft." in the Range field
Thanks Kyle, this is how I have left things for now. Just wondering as some of the official monsters definitely have the 'proper' option :)

I would enter the weapon twice - once as melee and once as ranged. Note this in the weapon name like "Dagger (Melee)" and "Dagger (Ranged)."

I used this as the basis for some other NPCs but when I edited the weapon the option disappeared. This is from the Curse of Strahd module.

I'll do some digging. My assumption is that these values are stored in the compendium, but something has to write this value to the character sheet when you drag and drop.
