Eldritch Knight Multiclassing Error

Sorry but that's simply not how it works.
Straight from Pg 164 of the PHB:
+++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Spell Slots. You determine your available spell slots by adding together all your levels in bard, cleric, druid, sorcerer, and wizard classes, half your levels (rounded down) in the paladin and ranger classes, and a third of your fighter or rogue levels (rounded down) if you have the Eldritch Knight or the Arcane Trickster feature. Use this total to determine your spell slots by consulting the Multiclass Spellcaster table.
If you have more than one spellcasting class, this table might give you spell slots of a level that is higher than the spells you know or can prepare. You can use those slots, but only to cast your lower-level spells. If a lower-level spell that you cast, like burning hands, has an enhanced effect when cast using a higher-level slot, you can use the enhanced effect, even though you don't have any spells of that higher level.
For example, if you are the aforementioned Ranger 4/ Wizard 3, you count as a 5th level character when determining your spell slots: you have four 1st level slots, three 2nd level slots, and two 3rd level slots. However, you don't know any 3rd level spells, nor do you know any 2nd level ranger spells. You can use the spell slots of those levels to cast the spells you do know - and potentially enhance their effects.
You must be thinking of 5e Beta, 3.0, 3.5 or Pathfinder.

So my example of Eldritch Knight 4/ Wizard 5 would count as 6th level as far as Spell Slots, but for Cantrips its total Character Level so 9th thus 2d10 dmg with a Firebolt.
Don't get me wrong I am extremely grateful for all the work the contributors have done but Multiclassing spell slots are being calculated contrary to the 5e PHB.

I received word from the Support team. It's taken care of and the fix will be present in the next release of the core package.
