Example: a character is attuned to a Staff of Healing and has equipped a Homebrew healing item, both of which allow the character to expend charges and cast the Mass Cure Wounds spell from them. On the character sheet's Spells section, only the Staff of Healing instance of Mass Cure Wounds appears, and the character cannot cast the spell from the Homebrew item without manually marking the charges on the item itself. Additionally, Mass Cure Wounds does not appear in the upper portion of the Homebrew item's descriptive text when selected.
This example is not the only instance I've experienced, and it is not unique to attunement vs. non-attunement items: it's any two magic items that grant a character the same spell (both require attunement, both do not, or one requires attunement and the other does not).
This is a recent issue; it was not occurring prior to the end of 2021.
(Disclaimer: I have checked my work on the Homebrew item and can confirm that the text and formatting are both functional. Adding the item to another character's sheet works as it should: Mass Cure Wounds appears in the character's Spells list, provided that character does not have access to that spell from another magic item.)

Yeah, this is a known issue that's popped up in the past month or so. I look forward to it being fixed.
I suspect it happened when they fixed a bug that occurred when you had multiple of the same magic item that used charges and gave access to spells.
