It seems like a crime that this spell is available to Bards, Sorcerers, Warlocks, and Wizards but not Clerics or Artificers, the spellcasting classes that use weapons a lot.  Especially since it deals Radiant damage.  Clerics have so few cantrips anyways, and hardly any damage cantrips (they don't have attack cantrips).  This would be thematically appropiate, since its a cleric wielding a weapon with the might of their deity (that's why they use their spellcasting ability instead of Strength or Dexterity).  Wizards and Sorcerers generally want to avoid being in melee range at all costs (Storm Sorcerers and Bladesingers are exceptions) due to being fragile.  

Artificers don't NEED this desperately since the two more martial artificers (the ones with Extra Attack at 5th level instead of a bonus to spell damage) have some feature that lets them use Intelligence for weapon attacks (Armorers rely on their gauntlet weapons though).  Though it would be useful if you were playing an Artillerist and wanted to use a firearm (since firearms deal lots of damage compared to bows it would be better than casting most cantrips), or Armorer with a firearm weapon attached to your powersuit (you're a mecha).  

 Just FYI Artificers do have access to True Strike now with the new Eberron book.

Has there been a change to this spell? There is a new category listed for spells, Attack/Save, that lists the spell as Melee.

There hasn't been any change to this spell since its initial release in 2024. 

The "Attack/Save" header at the top is part of D&D Beyond's compendium page, not part of the actual description of the spell. It has always been there, and it has always said "Melee", even though that's incorrect. This has been reported as a bug a few times but they haven't done anything with it yet.

This spell can be used with any weapon that the caster is proficient with and that is worth at least 1 cp, including both melee and ranged weapons. Remember that it's the description of the spell that defines what it can do and how it can be used, not D&D Beyond's metadata.

Can true strike stack with magic stone if you use fancy rocks?

Shillelagh plus True Strike at level 17 is doing 2d6 plus 3d6 plus 5 (assuming maxed casting stat) radiant damage. That's not a lot of damage, at level 17, but it's not bad for hitting people who don't understand personal boundaries.

The RAW here is a little murky, largely because Magic Stone is an older spell that's not worded particularly well.

However, I don't think using them together would provide much benefit over just using this spell on its own. The damage is slightly higher than using True Strike with a normal sling (1d6 vs. 1d4) but the only other benefit Magic Stone provides is letting you use your spellcasting ability modifier for the attack and damage rolls, which True Strike already does anyway. Using True Strike with a shortbow provides the same exact attack and damage rolls and a much longer range, without having to learn two different cantrips and use a bonus action to cast the other one first.

I think the only time the combo would be helpful is if for some reason you had access to rocks, but not to a proper ranged weapon. This seems like too rare a situation to be worth taking Magic Stone for, especially when you could just solve that problem by taking another cantrip that just does damage on its own.

From My game:

"Hey {Dm}, I'm about to say something that none of us have said in the 7 years we've been playing, I Cast true strike}

It kind of is - the spell from the word Go was meant to make spellcasters more accurate with their weapon attacks, and this does it in a somewhat roundabout way by affixing your spellcasting stat to what you use to attack with the weapon.
