Relatively new DM here (<30 sessions.) I'm running a great short adventure that I pulled off of DM's Guild called Hammon's Eggs. Stupid name, but it's really well written and fun. In it, the PCs try to track down the powerful artifacts of an ancient barbarian prince. Carnage ensues.
The artifacts in question, though, are really interesting---and I'm trying to figure out how to homebrew them. Each of them -- an ax, a shield, scale mail -- has three stages of attunement. So, each scales up in power if you attune it more. At one stage of attunement, you get one of its benefits. At the second, two. And so on. So, theoretically, you could have all three benefits of one item going, but none of the other two items. Or one benefit of each, and so on. Creates an interesting set of trade-offs.
Is there any way to homebrew this in DnDBeyond? Each item would have three different attunement slots with associated benefits. I think I can figure out an unwieldy work around -- namely, homebrewing nine separate artifacts that the PC could toggle on and off as s/he wants to play around with the attunements -- but that's pretty awkward. I appreciate any advice y'all have for me.

Unfortunately, the only way to do what you want is the “unwieldy” way you have already figured out.
