On the “home” tab of the character builder the toggle next to “homebrew content” needs to be on (red).
Also, we cannot make homebrewed nonmagical items, so if the “common” checkbox is checked under “manage equipment” then it will not display magical items such as homebrew.
Finally, if you have just created the item, it might be a system thing. Try re-saving the whole item to trigger the system to pick up the changes. Then wait a few minutes (up to 15ish) because it might take some time for the system to push those changes through to the character sheet. You would then need to refresh the character sheet for it to pick up what the system pushed.
