Maybe this is a user error thing, but I noticed that Healing Word is listed as a bonus action, but never shows up in the bonus action section on my app, or the online character sheet.  Is this a bug, or by design and I'm just missing the reason?

I can’t speak for the app, but I know it shows up under bonus actions on the website:

Please post a link to your character sheet so someone can look into it for you.

ETA -  never mind, i see it now. all it took was asking.  ugh.  its just not clickable like the other spell i have thats a BA, it threw me

Murphy's law, ask someone for help and it becomes obvious.  thank you!

Clickable? Are you perhaps using a browser extension like Beyond20?

Healing Word an attack spell, so it doesn't show in the Bonus Action Attacks automatically. You can customize the spell to check the box saying Display As Attack and it will show there, if you want to.

Ohh… that’s what they meant by “clickable.” 🤦‍♂️ You’re absolutely right, I should have know.
