This is my first post in the forums and it is about using The Book of Vile Darkness, which I recently obtained!
Today, while I was thinkering with the online sheet to add and to attune to the artifact, I noticed that the mayor and minor random properties of it are not managed by the online sheet.
Is there any hope this feature will be ever implemented in the system, or do I have to keep track of them in a separate note?
Most artifacts, like this book, do not have set minor and major properties and these are often decided, usually with rolls, on a per game basis by the DM. Given that variable nature and that many campaigns do not make it to the later levels where artifacts are used it seems not useful to dedicate time to implementing something for this - there are more important things to focus on. As a player you can customise the item to add item specific notes. This should do all you require just fine.

I keep finding this post when I google beneficial properties in order to find the list, so I'm just going to leave this link here for the next times I get to this post.
Hello everybody!

Thank you so much for the great work and support!
Have a nice day you all,
