attack modifier for ranged weapons only?

My character has a +2 bonus to attack with ranged weapons. On D&D 5E by Roll20 character sheet You can add an attack modifier, but it works for any attack. Can it be made dependent on the type of weapon?

Hi Marcin,  No, there is no modifier field for "ranged weapons". Instead edit each ranged weapon attack and add the +2 in the attack bonus section (after the ability score modifier). 
Another option is to create a Global Attack Modifier with a query that asks if it is a ranged attack or not: ?{Ranged Attack?|Yes,+2|No, } Which means you'll have to answer the query for each attack you make.

Jarren's solution works also but in D&D 5e a weapon is either a ranged weapon or a melee weapon. I assume this is for the Archery fighting Style which does not apply to melee weapons which are thrown so the simpler solution is to modify each ranged weapon's attack accordingly. However, if your table houserules melee weapons when thrown to also benefit (some tables do this) then my suggestion is to create a thrown attack for each melee weapon and add the +2 bonus to that attack.
