When I edit a private homebrew item for a character that already has that item in their inventory the changes do not reflect on the character sheet.
OS: Windows 10, Browser: Chrome
Steps to reproduce:
Navigate to an existing character in Chrome on the D&D Beyond site.
Launch the "Create a magic item" in a separate tab in Chrome
Create a new Shortsword item that is a copy of "Shortsword, +1". Name the new item "Private Test Shortsword"
Add the "Private Test Shortsword" to the existing character in Step #1.
Bug #1: it seems to take a while for the newly created "Private Test Shortsword" to show up in the Manage Equipment section. I "refreshed" my browser tab several times before it showed up. I don't know if it was the refresh or just the time I spend hitting F5.
Equip the item in the character. See that the item is now reflected in the "Actions" tab and see that the +1 bonus is applied to "To Hit" and "Damage"
Go back to the tab where the Homebrew "Private Test Shortsword" is being edited. Change the "Bonus - Magic - Fixed Value +1" to "Fixed Value +5". Save the changes.
Return to the character sheet tab. Refresh the tab.
Bug #2: Observe that the change from step 6 is not reflected on the character sheet! This is the primary issue.
Close your browser (all tabs). Reload 5 minutes later. Remove and re-add the item to the character sheet. See that the change might now be reflected in the character sheet (this hasn't always happened for me)
Please note: delayed or invalid reflection makes it very hard to create homebrew content and be able to test your changes. Testing these changes helps to experiment to see what effects your changes have. This testing is necessary as there is no User Guide to explain what all the options actually mean or what effects they will have.
If this is a browser caching issue, perhaps the site needs better page expiration META settings.

Has anyone looked at this bug report?
What happens if you log out, log back in, and wait 15-20 minutes? It may well be a server caching problem; if it is, that should fix it.
