Higher Level casting not adding correctly in chat

We are using the Roll20 5e character sheets.  When our players cast a spell at a higher level, the correct number of dice will be thrown on the screen, but the value in the chat box only includes the base dice (and relevant modifiers).  The added dice from casting at a higher level is not added into the total, so we have to manually add them up.  Not a big deal, but still takes extra time. I've looked around at the various fields and cannot see anything amiss.  Any thoughts? Thanks

That's a design decision which I personally find questionable. Quite a few people like to  change the spells so the higher level cast Query is in the {{dmg1}} field and is added automatically for you. Using Fireball as an example, you'd go to the Spells tab, change the higher level casting from "d6" to "none" in the drop down, then change the DAMAGE: field to something like this: 8d6[Base] + [[?{Cast at what level?|3|4|5|6|7|8|9}-3]]d6[Upcast] You can make the Query a little prettier (like the sheet one) if you prefer, it's just a bit more typing: 8d6[Base] + ?{Cast at what level?|Level 3,0|Level 4,1|Level 5, 2|Level 6, 3|Level 7, 4|Level 8, 5|Level 9, 6}d6[Upcast]
