Am I missing something or is there no option to "touch one Simple or Martial weapon or one item that you can use as a Spellcasting Focus, and you store a spell in it". I can see the check box to say I've used the feature but no way to actually put it in an item so I can see and use it as part of my game play outside remembering what I've done. I've looked at the infusion area and other places. Have I missed it or is it just not there?
This feature should have a UI component rather than having to homebrew it yourself.
Thats true of 20% of the features and items that exist in DDB overall. But the character sheet has a frame work, and frame work doesn't allow for nested arrays (or whatever the equivalent is). Battlesmith doesn't have an explicit creature token or Minion option, because the character sheet is incapable of allowing a second character sheet to be nested inside of it.... so instead its a set of counters in the Class ability subsection of Features and Traits.
The only way its getting fixed soon is to hire more... I honestly don't know what they use to code the character sheet, or manage the backend data. A possible, but long shot option B is to give them a case of alcohol, and hope they don't over shoot the Ballmer Peak.
Half a thought later.... I could be wrong about the nesting. There is nested options for things that fall under features, including feats. But I don't know of any examples that exist for items, so that part still holds up.
Just for the record, the issue with the Steel Defender has nothing to do with nested arrays. It’s that the Extras tab doesn’t support stat blocks with dynamic stats (i.e., those that depend on the main character’s stats or the level of a summoning spell or something similar).

There's no direct support for that in D&D Beyond's character builder.
The easiest workaround is, I think, to just customize the name of the item in your inventory to indicate what spell is in it.
You can also create a homebrew magic item that includes the spell alongside whatever the item's normal properties are.

Yeah, I was going to homebrew it if there wasn't a baked in option.
Thanks for your thoughts.
