I made a makeshift character sheet just to test it out using a super generic fighter. While Using a Longsword+1 and the Dueling Style for said longsword I noticed it actually doesn't add the +2 damage bonus from the Dueling Style to the Longsword+1 weapon on the character sheet.
I was playing with creating a monk and testing the weapon mods and noticed it gave me a proficiency bonus for a weapon I was not proficient in (greatsword).

It seems that currently all characters are deemed to be proficient with all weapons - an issue that will be resolved.
I have a paladin that chose dueling as his fighting style. He uses a quarterstaff one handed, shield in the other hand. It doesn't seem to give him the +2 damage for dueling.
I'm not sure how to "link a character sheet", but here's the url I use to access it:
looking at your character sheet, your paladin has 16 strength, granting a +3 bonus.
The character sheet lists the quarterstaff as doing 1d6+5. This is 1d6 damage from the quarterstaff +3 for your strength and +2 for your duelling fighting style.
You have additionally customised the attack to add another +2 bonus.
The character sheet seems to be calculating everything correctly to me, unless you're expecting another +2 damage bonus?
Does anyone know why my friend's character sheet is maybe broken? It says she's proficient in EVERYTHING on her character sheet but she definitely isn't. We sat down and went through her character builder to find where these weird proficiencies are coming from but can't find them - it's really weird. Is the sheet maybe just stuck from before she chose her proficiencies???
FYI for the future, you'd do best to open a new thread for new issues. But please post a link to the character sheet in question -- the actual URL, not the link created when you use the 'share' feature. That way if mods need to poke behind the scenes, they can do so. Also, my first thought is do they have any homebrew enabled? Incorrectly made homebrew is usually the cause of something like this.

Please provide a link to the character sheet(s) in question otherwise we can only wildly speculate.
Their race is homebrew. It's probably been badly made to give everything proficiency. I would double check it. At a glance I can tell it's definitely doing some things wrong because it's showing the Fey Ancestry advantages in the Defences section as Immunities which is not how it shows for an Elf.
Go to the homebrew forum and say what you want to make and they should be able to tell you how to do it. I would recommend start by duplicating an Elf subrace that has Fey Ancestry so that's already made for you - then you just need to make some edits to it.

I noticed the same thing today using the basic Warhammer. It isn't adding the +2 bonus from duelist.

D&D Beyond FoundersHi all,
Fighting styles don't currently add bonuses to the character, which is a known issue that the team are working on.

Has this been addressed? I'm finding it still seems to be a problem.

D&D Beyond FoundersYes, this was resolved over a year ago. :)
Can you explain what you are seeing as a problem?
If you can link your character sheet, and explain what you're expecting to see, a moderator can take a look for you.

Can you put in a non custom staff so we can see the issue?

Remember, you do not add your proficiency bonus to damage.
I was thinking there was another +2 for proficiency as SANSd20 pointed out below. Thanks!
