I am new to DND Beyond (so forgive my ignorance if this isn't correct) - I just learned Chaos Bolt, but I don't believe the App (either Web or Phone) is working correctly for the dice roll.
Chaos Bolt Description says that it is 2d8 + 1d6 damage, and at 2nd level or higher, each target takes 1d6 extra damage of the type rolled for each slot level above 1st.
During a digital dice roll, only the 2d8 dice are rolled, the 1d6(+slot level) never is. I believe this is not working correctly.
This is a known issue. Currently DDB is only able to roll the first die set of a damage roll. It also affects things like weapons that cause an additional damage type, like the Flame Tongue.

Thanks for the reply! Is there any timeframe for a fix, or suggestions on how to handle the damage roll?
Do people typically just roll a manual/custom 1d6 or add a fixed custom damage amount (3, or 4)?
You can add a custom action to your sheet to roll the damage. Still less convenient, but it takes it down to two clicks.
