NPC Bonus Action Macro

Hey im looking for a macro for the bonus action on the npc 5e sheets, i have this for the normal action. %{selected|repeating_npcaction_$0_npc_action}
I didn't even realize that there was a Bonus Action section on the NPC sheet.  It's something that you have to enable with a checkbox.  I'm not aware of any NPC sheets that will have Bonus Actions listed by default, as the ones I can find (such as a goblin) simply list Bonus Actions under the Traits section, and assume that the GM will follow Action/Bonus Action interaction rules. Anyways, I looked around and found that Bonus Actions weren't listed on the wiki page (I added a few updates), but I've listed the calls below.  You basically just need to change any reference to  repeating_npcaction  to  repeating_npcbonusaction . @{selected|repeating_npcbonusaction_$0_name} @{selected|repeating_npcbonusaction_$0_attack_range} @{selected|repeating_npcbonusaction_$0_attack_type} @{selected|repeating_npcbonusaction_$0_attack_tohit} @{selected|repeating_npcbonusaction_$0_attack_onhit} @{selected|repeating_npcbonusaction_$0_description} %{selected|repeating_npcbonusaction_$0_npc_action} I just threw this together and tested on a goblin: /w gm &{template:npcaction} {{rname=@{selected|token_name}}} {{name=Bonus Actions}} {{description=Name: @{Selected|repeating_npcbonusaction_$0_name} Range: @{selected|repeating_npcbonusaction_$0_attack_range} Attack Type: @{selected|repeating_npcbonusaction_$0_attack_type} Attack to Hit: @{selected|repeating_npcbonusaction_$0_attack_tohit} Attack on Hit: @{selected|repeating_npcbonusaction_$0_attack_onhit} Description: @{selected|repeating_npcbonusaction_$0_description} [Roll](~@{selected|character_id}|repeating_npcbonusaction_$0_npc_action)}}

It looks like a pretty new feature. My guess is it will be announced in the next release note. It's useful to have because you can assign attacks and damage to it, but I don't know if there is compendium drag and drop support for it yet. 
Thank you, I just couldn't work out how to call on it. I have my own macros for npcs, just need to plug in the  %{selected|repeating_npcbonusaction_$0_npc_action} instead of  repeating_npcaction.
