[5e] What wrong with my npc damage effect?

My npc ability is displaying the dice it should be rolling but not rolling them. What am I doing wrong? Thanks for helping a newb. Here's the ability. Not my crude though effective workaround to rolling the damage myself. &{template:dmg} {{rname=[Rotting Presence]}} {{range=[30ft AoE}}} {{damage=1}} {{dmg1flag=1}} {{dmg1=[[1d6+1]]}} {{dmg1type=Necrotic}} {{dmg2flag=}} {{dmg2=dmg2}} {{dmg2type=dmg2type}} {{crit=}} {{crit1=crit1}} {{crit2=crit2}} {{save=1}} {{saveattr=Constitution}} {{savedesc=Take No Damage}} {{savedc=13}} {{desc=}} {{hldmg=hldmg}} {{spelllevel=spelllevel}} ammo=ammo {{charname=Goat Demon}} /r 1d6+1 Necrotic Why won't it roll that d6?
You've got too many symbols in there, specifically in the rname and range sections, which is causing issues down the line. You don't need brackets in those ones, and in the range one you start with a bracket but end with a curly brace. I took those out and it worked fine. You also don't need half of those entries. If they don't affect the output, they just get in the way. &{template:dmg} {{rname=Rotting Presence}} {{range=30ft AoE}} {{damage=1}} {{dmg1flag=1}} {{dmg1=[[1d6+1]]}} {{dmg1type=Necrotic}}  {{save=1}} {{saveattr=Constitution}} {{savedesc=Take No Damage}} {{savedc=13}} {{desc=}}  {{charname=Goat Demon}}
Thank you so much!
