I tend to forget I can use an attack action to perform grapples and shoves in combat. If I have two attacks with my character my character sheet shows obvious things like spells and weapons. Could you add Grapple and Shove to this part of the character sheet? It would also be awesome if monsters had that somewhere on their sheets too!
Grapple and Shove are listed in the actions tab, along with a bunch of other actions, in 'Actions in Combat,' right underneath the first Actions table. They're both ability check based, so there's no attack roll and the save DC is variable, so they can't really go in the table. But if you click on them you get the Basic Rules entry on how to grapple or shove. If you really want it on the table to ensure you don't forget about it, you can use the 'Manage Custom' link at the top of the Action table to make a custom action called 'Shove' or 'Grapple,' and fill in some of the info, as a placeholder.
They're both ability check based, so there's no attack roll and the save DC is variable, so they can't really go in the table.
Why not? The table can clearly accommodate text in those fields (e.g. Charm Person will display "Charmed*" in the damage field.) They could just as easily write "Athletics*" in the Attack/DC field. Grappling and shoving arguably belong in that table more than attack spells do, since the Attacks Per Action number is actually relevant to them.
Command also displays Prone in the damage field. But the Hit/DC field would need to indicate a variable number and a variable stat for grapple, since you can use Athletics or Acrobatics -- and note that they're skills, not the basic stats. I wouldn't be surprised if they hard-coded the options for that table (considering historical MO) and it only has options for the 6 main stats. And then probably also messy display plus maybe considering what percent of users would want it listed in that display. It would've been nice if they'd given it a 'display as attack' checkbox the same as spells that require a saving throw, but since it's not there, there must have been a reason why. This is my best guess.
