UPDATE 8 Nov: We know it has been a long time since we posted here but, the Artificers have been very busy, deep inside the Character Sheet Machine. Without further ado we would like to announce; weight changes when unequipping a container and magical containers that have fixed weights. So now you can load down your Cart full of Fine Clothes, drop that heavy Backpack right before a battle and fill up your Bags of Holding.
UPDATE 6 Aug 00:02GMT: We have recovered all customizations created prior to the containers deployment @15:00 GMT today. Any changes made to those items after the deployment have been reverted to their original status. Any alterations made after the deployment are currently unavailable. We will be working on getting those few back over the next couple of days. Stay tuned and thank you again for your patience.
UPDATE 5 Aug 23:01GMT: We know there is an issue with the customization of items, We are currently working on recovering those customizations. We recommend NOT attempting to correct these issues on your end by deleting and rewriting. Give us a moment to recover your old data. Thank you for your patience.
Greetings Adventurers!
We are so happy to announce that the containers on your character’s inventory now actually HOLD things. You can now add things to your backpack and collapse the list. You can click on the container name to see it's contents and add or remove things. When has organization ever been so fun? So as you all log in to your character for the first time today you will see this functionality.
Please remember this is the first step for us to build out the Shared Inventory for your party and we will eventually be adding currency and weight to each or these containers, meaning you can finally carry an overloaded rucksack and drop it right before combat or have a Bag of Holding’s contents not destroy your weight limit. Oh! And one more thing containers cannot go into containers.
If you have feedback, we want to hear it! The best way to give it to us is through our Inventory Management/Sharing Portal.
Woo! Definitely my most anticipated update.
This is awesome! Great first step! Look forward to future updates on this.

Hey, it seems that Custom items created directly on a character sheet cannot be placed into a container, and it seems that the function to create new custom items directly on the sheet is now unavailable. Am I missing something?
THANK YOU!
Not yet supported, but in the works! You should still be able to create custom items--But make sure you're not trying to create them while inside a container.
I can add custom items still. Manage Items->Equipment->+Add custom Item (at the bottom)
As per the most recent dev update, custom items can't be put into containers just yet. They still working on that.
How do I drop my backpack without it deleting all of the items?
Ahh…. I see it now. It’s specifically within the “Equipment” dropdown and not at the very bottom with “Starting Equipment,” “Currency,” and “Encumbrance” where I expected. Thank you.
I honestly don’t watch those. I don’t twitch, and even if I did I’m a “just the facts ma’am” type of hombre and those Dev updates are, like, 80% exposition. (I would be more inclined to watch an abridged version, something cut down to 2 minutes of just facts and none of the rest of it.)
This is fantastic! Any idea how soon party shared inventory will happen?
This is one of those updates that is seemingly ho-hum but actually improves the user experience tremendously. Thank you!
The Bag of Holding doesn't seem to negate the weight of items put into it. ;)
This looks amazing! Already trying it out! Will there be an update to add Specified Components? For example, Platinum Ring(s) for Warding Bond or Glass Eye for Clairvoyance isn't a searchable item. Also the difference between Diamonds and/or Powdered Diamonds. I'm sure that's a TON of work and something that could be a ways out, but I was curious if that was on the table for planning.
I'm not currently having trouble adding custom items or rather customizing existing items, but I was curious if there are plans to add those specific items of cost when not using a Focus to put into the Component Pouch for casters. Thanks!
Are there plans to be able to do it from the mobile app?
Is there a list somewhere of all the items that qualify as "containers".
"And one more thing containers cannot go into containers."
My "Bag of Holding/portable hole sponsored-one-way-ticket-to-the-Astral-Plane" begs to differ....
I had 2 Greatswords in my inventory which were customized. They had an added bonus damage and were silvered, plus an altered name/
Those customizations are now gone :( .
So happy with this change since that allows me to put stuff in my chest, Bag of Holding and efficiency quiver
Awesome! If you could now please make it so we can use that feature to put stuff on a mount or in a cart and it won't count towards our carrying capacity! It's one step in the right direction. Keep at it!
