Did they errata True Strike to remove "on your next turn"? This could have finally, finally been its time to shine, but I doubt they thought to do it :p

I'm not happy with you right now. You got my hopes up that they actually did this :(
Even Cantrips like Ray of Frost that are specifically listed under the ATTACK action? I would think that ANY attack listed under the ATTACK Action would count.

No cantrip is listed under the Attack action (nothing is really "listed" under the Attack action; it just has a description of what taking the Attack action lets you do, so I'm not really sure what you mean). Casting a spell is always the Cast a Spell action.
Some spells may require you to make an attack roll of some kind such as a ranged spell attack or melee spell attack, maybe even more than one roll. But these are all attack rolls, not the attack action.
I'm trying to figure out if its possible to share a screen shot in this thread, but on the character sheet, under actions, under Attack, it list Ray of Frost, along with weapons and unarmed attacks. The spell casting section is seperate, even though it also lists ray of frost on there as well. But my thought would be that if an attack is listed under Actions and under Attack, it should be allowed to be used in junction with Extra Attack. Also this is in reference to Artificer.

Attacks =/= Attack action. The DDB character sheet allows for grouping a whole bunch of different weapons/spells/features that do damage together in one place. If you click on the "customize" dropdown for any of your spells, you'll see there's an option to "display as attack". It's merely for convenience, and has absolutely no rule interactions whatsoever.
The Attack action is a very specific action. It allows you to make melee/ranged attacks when you use that action. When you cast a cantrip or leveled spell, you are taking the Cast a Spell action.
The Extra Attack feature =/= extra action. It means, when you take the Attack action, you can make two melee/ranged attacks instead of one. It does not give you the ability to take more than one action.
You don't know what fear is until you've witnessed a drunk bird divebombing you while carrying a screaming Kobold throwing fire anywhere and everywhere.
Have I done this correctly? I have : Sneak attack, extra attack, and gloom stalker dread ambush. trying to figgure out if in one attack round my routine is correct?
1) Sneak attack using Bow and getting Favored Foe 2) Normal attack using Bow (still getting Favored Foe) 3) Dread Ambush using Bow 4) Extra attack using bow and Ensnaring strike.
Its My DM's first time DMing and he suggested I ask you all. He belives i need to take out 2) being there is no normal attack
PS: Its been wild getting back into DND, I played in 45 years ago for about 3 years and now My son has started playing and asked me to join. BTW My son is the DM I am talking about. also Thank you in advance

Sneak attack isn't an additional attack. It's extra damage you can, under certain circumstances, add to an attack you get otherwise. As a Gloomstalker with Extra Attack, you get the two attacks you get every round when you take the Attack action, and on the first turn of the combat, you get a third attack with that action. To one of these attacks that hits, you can add your sneak attack damage if you meet the situational requirements for sneak attack.

Saga has it right. You would basically take out #1. And on 2, 3, or 4, if sneak attack requirements are met add the damage to one of those hits.

I'm going to make this way harder than it needs to be.

Yes you are correct. The page reference is within the Bladesinger section of the book.

I fully accept I'm misunderstanding and that I'm in the wrong thought train, but it just would make sense to me.
The character sheet is not the rules.
Liarin: Against the Cult of the Reptile God
Adewild: Shadows and Light 2
Brother Thaddeus: Rime of the Frostmaiden.
