5e OGL sheet - why doesn't scorching ray make more than one ranged attack roll?

Is there a user-side way to change this? Or am I doing something wrong? EDIT: for clarification, from the PHB:  You create three rays of fire and hurl them at Targets within range. You can hurl them at one target or several. Make a ranged spell Attack for each ray. On a hit, the target takes 2d6 fire damage.

Because you can press it 3 times. Making it roll 3 times from one click would introduce problems if upcasting, or make the macros more complex when there is no need for it.

For those using the API to track slot usage, it can be a pain, since each click will decrement one slot. The Shaped Sheet has a nice feature for every attack that lets you re-roll the attack roll or the damage roll without re-invoking the spell.

For those using the API to track spell slots, a second, separate attack on the character sheet can handle the 2nd and 3rd (4th, 5th,...) attack rolls.
