This is a known (and frequently reported) bug with character sheets. Any feature with the same name as a lower level feature over writes it (favored enemy, expertise, magical secrets, and ability score improvement).

I was going to purchase a D&D Beyond membership for each of my party members as a gift, but I think I'm going to pass. If they can't fix this, why should I buy them something that is broken. Pencil and paper it is I guess. That's a shame.
At this point, I would think they are just ignoring it. That's a shame, too. I was going to buy some more of their content, but I'm not going to spend any more money if they don't address a problem when they come up. What is that all about? Sad, very sad.
Are there like dozens and dozens of problems they're fixing and they just haven't gotten back to this one? I don't know how to code anything, not even my microwave, so I have no idea how difficult this would be to fix. I know they plan to revamp the whole system, but is this something that would be too hard to toss a band-aid at? I'm sincere here. Is this actually difficult, or have they decided they don't care about this issue?

It isn't that it is difficult. They could have fixed this in under a week. But they would rather use that week working on their next big project instead of making a hot fix that they will be coding over in the future anyway.
They've mentioned before on dev updates that they prioritize their time according to long term efficiency.
So this bug and several others that have also been waiting will all get fixed together when they update the character sheet.
the news I have on this is somewhat limited, but I wanted to let you know it's not being ignored!
The issue has been fully investigated, in terms of exactly which features are affected by this problem.
It's a design issue, rather than a bug, so it's not something that can be just fixed. It is my understanding that changing the way such abilities are displayed on the character sheet would cause a lot of other problems.
I've spoken with staff about this and it is being addressed, but as part of a larger piece of work.
I hope that helps and apologies that I'm not able to give you a timeframe on that.
It's confusing that it's short-term unfixable, Stormknight, because the Natural Explorer ability, which progresses in the same way, works just fine on the front end. Is there a reason that Favored Enemy can't be treated the same way as Natural Explorer?

Still an issue 🙁... and I can’t just pencil it in when managing my character online. Guess that’s the value of old school pencil and paper!
Hi, in the character sheet of one of my players the feature of Favored Enemy appears only the one chosen at 6th level. Can someone help please?
This gets reported every week or so.
Dammit, thanks for the response, hope they fix it soon.

This is an issue with every Ranger lvl 6 and over I make.

Not an insurmountable issue, but an annoying one. Especially as it doesn't effect favored terrain at all.
Still an issue, last moderator response was on 4/5, is this being fixed or just ignored until some later site update?

Checking back on this.
Thanks
Yep should we just respond everyday until the devs take this out of the backlog?
Eventually they have to look at it again. Right?

But when will that be?
No body really knows, but you can check the roadmap to see when they start working on it.

D&D Beyond FoundersHey folks,
