Is there any way to get Advantage on skill checks to show up on the character sheet, outside of advantage built into classes/races/etc.? I've successfully homebrewed magic items that grant advantage, but the little Advantage marker doesn't show up on the character sheet when the items are equipped, like it does when, say, you're playing a halfling and you have advantage on saving throws against being frightened. Without the marker, there's not much point in adding the item, since the point is to remind the player that they can re-roll. Any ideas? Does the marker only show up for saving throws and not skill checks? Or is this another Coming Soon feature?
Currently the marker only shows up for saving throws, and initiative. Hopefully it is planned to be added to skills -- I've seen a lot of requests for it -- but at this point I do not believe it has been confirmed as a coming soon feature.
Any update on this... I just got a fancy new home brewed set of half plate that affords me advantage to resist fear and I'd like to add that to my sheet. :)
Additionally, I would like the disadvantage to stealth for heavy armor to appear as well. It is a WIDELY forgotten disadvantage for heavy armor that doesn't get used. So just as a reminder for advantage would be nice, disadvantage would be nice too.

Showing advantages and disadvantages on skill checks would be a great addition, and especially for heavy armor
Just want to say that I, too, would like to please show Advantage on skills. My players can be forgetful, but they never forget on initiative, for example, when they've got that little green "A" next to it. :-)
So I'm not crazy. Check. Yeah the number of ways you can gain advantage on a skill check is vastly increased. While some are situational, others are all the time. An indicator would be greatly appreciated.
Stumbled upon this problem with item I got from my campaign. Nowhere to check on character sheet - I thought I messed my homebrew creation but it seems to be wider problem :(.

I’d just like to chime in as saying I would also like this to be added. No idea if more voices will help, but I figure it can’t hurt.

Bumping for the same reasons as above.
This is kinda interesting that it doesn't exist given some of the core magic items like Cloak of Elvenkind give that aspect.

Published Subclasses
Would very much love to see this capability added to the character optimization.

Same goes for saving throws!
It would also be great if temporary advantages and disadvantages could be marked, or similar.
Seeing as there is currently no way to 'activate' a spell effect, eg. Enhance ability, Bless, Bane, Heroes Feast, Hex

I too support this addition.
Wondering if in the last 2 years there had been an answer to this :)
not yet
Hopefully one day! Much wanted!
Also would like this for homebrew reasons!
Adding my name to this for the Rune Knight UA stuff.
