Not sure if this is a bug, or deliberate, so posting here rather than in bugs.
I'm the DM of a few campaigns on DNDB. I can access all my players' characters by selecting the appropriate campaign page, then selecting their character. That all works fine.
However, when viewing one of my players' characters, there is a "Campaign: <campaign name>" button in the top right of the page. Selecting this shows *some* of the characters in that campaign, and I can select them to quickly jump to that character, rather than have to return to the campaign page and then select a new character.
I think this 'menu' only shows *some* of the characters because they have their setting set to "Private" rather than "Public"? However, as DM I am able to view all the characters anyway, and it would be really useful to be able to use this menu to jump between characters rather than have to go back to the campaign page each time. Is this deliberate? Shouldn't the privacy setting be ignored for the DM?
Happy to move this to "bugs" if people agree it's a bug, but maybe I'm missing a good reason for this limitation?

D&D Beyond FoundersThe characters that don't show on that sidebar are ones that have been set to "private"
If their owners wish them to be visible and allow other members of the campaign to see them, they should change their visibility to public.
