I created a homebrew shield to which I added a +1 armor class bonus modifier. When I use this item with a character, it displays that the AC bonus is only the standard 2, and equipping the shield only increases AC by 2. When I equip the Shield, +1; Shield, +2; and Shield, +3 I get the correct AC uptick for each and they display the proper AC bonus in their descriptive field in the Equipment tab of the character sheet. Not sure what's going on here. I even removed all of the other features, such as charges, from the homebrew item thinking that maybe there was some incompatibility there, but the AC bonus is still only 2.

Hey there! Did you choose to have the shield require Attunement, and if so has the character Attuned to the shield?
I might not have. I'll double check. Thanks for the heads up!! :)
Sorry to necro this, but I was having the same problem and the attunement fixed it. Thanks @MellieDM
