Perhaps it already exists, but it would be useful to have an index of features that have been commonly requested, when, what the status is, and why, to prevent the many duplicate requests (and the feeling of shouting into the void). Status: Acknowledged (it's on the list), In Progress (it's being worked on), Complete (it's done!), and Declined (it cannot or will not be done).
Like being able to filter by owned content, if that cannot be done, say so once and for all so people can stop raising new threads for it.

The filters on search could be improved. If you try to filter on tags, it looks for something with every tag you put in. It would be more useful if there was an option to look for any of the tags, as sometimes I'm looking for a spell to do something that could be considered one of several tags. And if a spell would fit a particular tag, but it was not put in, then the search won't find it. For example, glyph of warding contains damage, control, and warding tags. Debuff would seem as valid as control for what it can do, but if you add it to any of the other tags, glyph of warding doesn't show up.
Based on recent posts, I have no reason to believe that anyone will actually see this; but I have to try. Also, I tried searching for to see if this suggestion had already been made, but as Spruce56 pointed out above, it's basically impossible to be sure without some effort being expended on DDB's part.
My suggestion is this: I would like to be able to see a transaction history in the Coin tracker in the inventory manager. Ideally this would include a space where I could record a memo of what the transaction was (like a checkbook). I both spent and received money in our play session last week, and now I'm logging in and looking at my coin tracker and I can't remember if I properly recorded these transactions. I could always start recording it in a notebook, but given that DDB is marketed as a 'one-stop shop' I don't think I should really have to do that.
I know its been mentioned before but I'll mention it again. When searching in races, monsters, magic items, backgrounds spells, feats, etc it would be so nice to just have a tickbox for "show only owned content rather then going to sources and add every sourcebook you own

Thank you for giving us the option to use 2014 spells/magic items. Now...can we have:
-Ala carte back - Marketplace Filter by "what you own" back - Let us better customize our Magic Items, Classes, Feats. - Hell let us homebrew a whole class, NOT just a subclass - Wishful thinking but a way to view the Compendium offline, I get y'all won't give us PDFs. But sometimes I want to look up something when I am at work, and have no Data Signal and the App wont load the content I bought for me to view.

I've just checked to make sure I was accurate before I responded. I've just opened the app, gone to the library section, downloaded the 2014 PHB to my device, closed the app, turned off wifi and data (i.e. no internet access), re-opened the app, went to library again, opened the 2014 PHB, and I could navigate through without issue. Seems like the compendium works offline if you hit the "download" button for the book when you have internet.
I suggest a 3rd-party content roadmap publicly available so people can keep track of what's coming.
Future 3rd-party content would be nice to hype via Nintendo-style "Partnered Content showcases" where hype can be built for stuff that's coming without having to guess what from who....with the permission of the partners, of course.

It’s great that 3rd party content is being added, and I’m excited to see what else comes to the marketplace, but I think this makes a great time for another call for DMs to have item-level control over the spells available in their campaigns.
If a 3rd party book with hundreds of spells came on sale, I’d be very reluctant to share it with my party - they’d be overwhelmed by the increase in choice, and I’d be wary of spells that weren’t well balanced.
If you copy an item like Arrow +1 it is stackable weapon (ammunition) but as soon as you try to make any changes it complains you have to select the weapon type, it's like there is a hidden "weapon" type of ammunition. As it happens I am trying to homebrew some ammunition and would like to use that type. (for now I'll use item type scroll, because those are also stackable)
Request: More search filters for our Homebrew Collection and Homebrew creations. I have 77 pages of homebrew x 20 items each (1,540 homebrew feats, spells, items, subclasses, etc.) and trying to find a specific homebrew gives me Psychic damage. This has been a request for years.
Still think the simplest way would be to have an INCLUDE MY HOMEBREW CREATIONS checkbox or toggle in the Advanced filters when searching "Game Rules" (or have Homebrew included as part of the "Source" filter).
And while we're on the subject of homebrew, it'd be very useful if we could Enable/Disable Homebrew sharing for specific players in the Campaigns section (ex: "HOMEBREW MANAGEMENT" button, with toggles). If I DM a shared campaign, I should be able to decide if Bob or Anthony's homebrew will be included in my campaign. Similarly, if I join another shared campaign as a player, another DM should be able to toggle off my 1,540 homebrew options :P
Feature request: Now that I finally have my 2024 Player Handbook, for the love of all that is decent and holy, (a) can I please see the new book under Sources! and (b) can I get a toggle or something so I can stop seeing the 2014 Player Handbook like I'm living in 2023! Let's get with times already! it's been like 10 minutes!
The lack of a 2024 character sheet redesign seems like a missed opportunity. I'd like to be able to tell at a glance if my players are using the 2014 or 2024 sheets. The current sheet is fine—very functional—but it's also starting to feel a bit dated.
It would be great to have some options, maybe even as a nice perk for subscribers. I'd love to see character art featured more prominently, and I'm a sucker for a well-designed layout. If you Google "pretty DnD character sheet," you'll find so many amazing ones out there. Players love customizing and taking ownership of their characters, and having a visually appealing sheet would really add to that experience.

The Marketplace is currently a mess. The filters need to be fixed.
Before, you could at least toggle by what you have already purchased...
I want this feature back.
PLEASE.

It would be super cool to have a search filter (in any place it's relevant) for content you do not own
