New to this, but I had a question involving Mage Slayer. For context this was my Variant Fighters' first chosen feat and I am using the online character sheet, not the plain-text/PDF.
So during my last session with my group, I mentioned that I was unable to use my bonus action to use the Mage Slayer feats' ability to impose disadvantage on the Concentration roll of an enemy, as I had already used my bonus action. A player and the DM both asked why I needed to use a bonus action for that as the feat does not indicate that I would need to. I realized that when selecting the feat on D&D beyond, the digital character sheet placed the three features/abilities of the Mage Slayer feat into the categories of "Reaction" and "Bonus Action" and I had just assumed that was accurate.
Specifically:
Mage Disadvantage is categorized on the Beyond character sheet as a "Bonus Action" (When you damage a creature that is concentrating on a spell, that creature has disadvantage on the saving throw it makes to maintain its concentration.)
and
Spell-Save Advantage is placed in the "Reaction" section of my sheet. (You have advantage on saving throws against spells cast by creatures within 5 feet of you.)
Spell Reaction does state that I must use a reaction so this one is not the issue. (When a creature within 5 feet of you casts a spell, you can use your reaction to make a melee weapon attack against that creature.)
So I'm asking if the Spell-Save Advantage and Mage Disadvantage parts of the Mage Slayer feat do cost a reaction and bonus action to use, and if not, Why does D&D beyond place them in these sections of the character sheet? Should they not be in the "Other/Special" section instead?
Really hoping I explained this well enough and am not just missing something really obvious about how the feat works.

That's not the official Mage Slayer feat, which provides a Reaction for the Mage Slayer Attack, and gives a Saving Throw for Advantage against spells cast by creatures within 5 feet of you.
You'll need to contact whoever made the homebrew feat, probably someone in your campaign or the DM.

The reaction attack part should show up in the "reaction" section, the saving throw advantage part should show up in the "saving throws" box and the imposing disadvantage part only shows in the feat text so it's modifier you just have to remember to remind the DM of whenever you attack someone.
And I just tested it on one of my characters, if you add the official feat then it shows up correct on the sheet.

That was absolutely it!
I made the character so long ago and I had purchased the PHB at the time so I never considered that it might have been a homebrew feat.
When I went back to the character editor I found two feats labeled "Mage Slayer" - it's fixed now!
Thanks for your help.
