Cantrip descriptions missing level progression text

Looking through the Spell list in the D&D 5e players handbook and Xanathar's guide I noticed that some cantrips like Eldritch Blast and Shocking grasp have the proper level scaling listed (Gaining and extra dice at levels 5, 11, and 17) but some cantrips like Firebolt and Thunderclap do not. Not sure if this is something I would bring up as a technical issue but I know this effects the spells damage when selected. Is there a way to update this?

I'm not seeing this. I just dragged the PHB Fire Bolt onto a 5th level character and got 2 dice of damage. Have you tried deleting the spell from your character and dragging in a fresh copy? Note that for whatever reason, the extra level damage paragraph does not display in the spell card in the Compendium, despite showing in the full handout-style display. Is that what you are referring to?
I was. my mistake. I use the compendium for reference more often than I use the site properties.

Like I said, it is odd that that text doesn't show. You would think it would be important.
I was looking it up in the compendium for a quick reference because I was told it scaled like I knew Eldritch Blast did. I saw that half the damaging cantrips have their scaling written in the text and half do not.

I've gone ahead and posted this issue to the  D&D 5th Edition by Roll20  thread.
Thanks for bringing this to our attention - I went ahead and made a ticket for our production team to take a look at in regards to this, as well. I'm going to go ahead and mark this as closed - thanks again!
