In Chapter 6 (Equipment) in the armor section, there is no don or doff times listed for shields. What sort of action does it take to equip a shield? Can I equip a shield for my free object interaction as part of my Move or Action now? In the previous PH, it required an action to strap a shield onto your arm to gain it's AC bonus. Is this something they missed in the new book or is the change deliberate?
If you're not willing or able to to discuss in good faith, then don't be surprised if I don't respond, there are better things in life for me to do than humour you. This signature is that response.

A Shield requires the Utilise Action to don or doff in the 2024 rules.

Just to add this as an erratum included in D&D Beyond, not yet in the physical book.
