Just made some "sidekick" characters and I just realized that when a player looks at my homebrew monster on their character sheet, the bonus action section does not show up.
Whenever reporting a bug about a character sheet, please always include links to the character sheet so someone can look into it for you. Preferably the actual URL not the “Share Link.” Whenever reporting a bug to do with a Homebrew, please always include a link to the Homebrew. Moderators and staff (not me) can look into private character sheets and unpublished Homebrew so don’t worry about it.
We only added the "Bonus Action" section for monsters recently and it seems that the extras section of the character sheet hasn't been updated to match yet.
As a workaround for now, you could add those bonus actions to the action section, so they'll display. Fully understood that this isn't ideal though.
Luckily, IamSposta has also already provided a workaround for this!
Way back before they added those sections I was converting one of my NPCs from a Character Sheet to a Monster Statblock and needed to add a Bonus Action. I learned that if you do it right it will look as if the system had a Bonus Action field! (I knew that would come in handy one of these days.)
After you have listed all of the creature’s Actions, at the bottom of the list type “Bonus Actions,” and then add that creature’s bonus actions below that. Then go back and highlight the “Bonus Actions” and change that specific line from “Paragraph” to “Header 3” as the text format. When you look at that statblock it will appear identical to the Actions and Reactions section and smack dab in between the two exactly where it belongs.

AlumniThis is currently a known issue with monster stat block bonus actions and the Extras sidebar:

This is still happening.
Link to character sheet. See Berthe in Extras : https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/Bilyboum/characters/45678635

Still happening (the Fey Spirit in Extras has bonus actions in my homebrew collection, doesn't show up on the character sheet) https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/81549088
As stated, this is a known issue with how the extras section renders stat blocks and is still on going with the team

2 years on and it still hasn't been fixed. So lame.
Still isn't fixed. Just had to use someone else's workaround to make the full sheet appear in the app.
