[5e OGL] DND 5e Spell damage bug

Okay, so I am relatively experienced with Roll20 and its character sheets but I've run into a little snag. I was setting up my spells for my character and all was going well until I tested Ice Knife.  With spells like acid splash, Ray of Frost and Witch Bolt, selecting the output as Attack worked fine.  I got the range, attack rolls, saves and damage to appear and by turning spell descriptions on, I was even able to relate the side effects and little details of each spell.  Ice Knife is different from the rest I have tried.  Ice Knife starts as a ranged attack that deals 1d10 piercing damage if it hits.  However, hit or miss, the spell explodes into an AOE dealing 2d6 cold damage to the target and each creature within 5 feet of it unless they pass a dex save.  But when I tested Ice Knife, all I got was the attack roll, range, and description. For some reason, I cannot get the damage (initial or secondary) or the save to show up in chat.  I thought it was because of the secondary damage or perhaps because I had to input an attack and save so I tried splitting it, but it still refuses to show damage or saves. Does anyone have any advice for me?  I have tried deleting the spell and filling it out again, but I get the same result.  Even selecting the shortcut in attacks on my Core page is bugged this way.   To clarify, I filled out the attack card as: Output:  Attack Spell attack:  Ranged Damage:  1d10             Type:  Piercing Damge2:  2d6               Type:  Cold Saving Throw:  Dex      Effect:  Negates secondary damage.  
Couple quick questions to see if there's an easy solution, 1. is the dropdown in the settings tab on the right set to attack rolls only or attack and damage rolls? 2. have you somehow managed to untick the damage or save checkboxes in the Ice Knife's attack on the Core tab? 3. Have you tried making another spell after Ice Knife to see if it's just Ice Knife that's not working or all new spells? You haven't said but I'm assuming you're using the 5e OGL sheet because you mentioned a Core page.
Oh my God...I can't believe I missed that.  So your first suggestion worked perfectly.  I don't think I understand why since other spells like Ray of Frost auto rolled damage but...whatever.  The point is its working now.  Thank you SO much Kyle!
