Damage Rolls on Spell/Abilities Entries

I'm pretty new to macros in general, so I don't know if i'm just missing something obvious or not here, but when ever i try to put a damage roll into a spell listing's damage field this [[ /roll 8d6 ]] it malfunctions. in the chat i receive this error. Just wondering if there's an obvious mistake that i'm not noticing with what I've done.

I'm not familiar with that character sheet, but... [[ ]] is the syntax of an inline roll, you should not  have /roll  inside of that. Just [[8d6]] should do what you want. Edit: also as a tip, /roll only works at the start of a line, so would never be valid in this kind of situation.
I think G G means that you should NOT have /roll inside the [[ ]].

Just to add to whats been said; on the PF community sheet, we've included a superscript footnote "a,b,c, or d" on the fields name.  Refer to the footer of the sheet for an explination on what's allowed for a given input.
Alright, that did the trick. Thanks for the help. I figured it was just a case of me not knowing what i was doing.
