[5e Compendium] Isn't Call Lightning a concentration spell?

<a href="https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Call%20Lightning" rel="nofollow">https://roll20.net/compendium/dnd5e/Call%20Lightning</a> In the 5e compendium Call Lightning has a duration of&nbsp; Duration:&nbsp; Up to 10 minutes instead of&nbsp; Duration: Concentration, up to 10 minutes Did I miss an errata?
Both the link you provided and searching for the spell in-game show that it is a concentration spell for me.

Kyle, do you have the Player's Handbook ? It could be you are seeing the spell in the PHB Compendium version, which can be different from the SRD Compendium version. There were a few instances of monster stats being different in the&nbsp;SRD Compendium from the Monster Manual that Roll20 had to correct. I do not own the PHB and see the spell without Concentration listed.

I'm not seeing concentration in the SRD version.

You have to click the attribute list for a spell in its compendium entry to see whether a spell has concentration.
Ah. I see it now. That's confusing. I think most players will be looking for Concentration in the Duration entry (where it is in the original source) as opposed to it being called out into a separate Concentration attribute.

Rabulias said: Ah. I see it now. That's confusing. I think most players will be looking for Concentration in the Duration entry (where it is in the original source) as opposed to it being called out into a separate Concentration attribute. Agreed. I imagine they will eventually get around to it.
The spell entry used to have concentration spells display the duration as "Duration: Yes, up to [x] minutes" (with "Yes" reflecting that it is a concentration spell). It seems that it now displays it as just "Duration: up to X minutes", which is less grammatically weird but also not obvious that it is a concentration spell. Hopefully it's fixed.
