Hey guys, I've been trying my hand at homebrew feats to give my players some extra's like proficiencies in tools and such. Now I have noticed that only the title of those homebrew feats show up on their sheets, without the explanation text and without the added modifiers. I looked at other existing feats and filled mine in as those, but it still doesn't show a difference. What am I doing wrong? Is there a bug or is it meant to not be fully displayed?

The character sheet does not show the “description” for anything. It either shows either the “short description” or “snippet” for things. The full description is only visible on the slideout that comes out when you tap/click something for more information.
For feats, if you want them to show on the character sheet the way official stuff does, you must fill in the various snippet fields in the homebrewer. You can learn more about snippets here:
Thank you so much for your reply! I understand that I need to use snippets now, but there is no option to add a snippet to a specific modifier. I thought that adding a modifier would do the trick, it it doesn’t, and the post does not really specify where to put it. Any ideas?

Modifiers do not interact with descriptions whatsoever. What exactly is it doing, and what is it you want it to do?
