Information The Homebrew Builder built into 5etools is an incredibly helpful tool, with the full functionality available through the schema the cherry on top, but there is sometimes a struggle when you are only knowledgable in the website side of things (or use a mixture of the HB tools and VSCode such as myself).
With monsters and spells (and legendary groups) being the only available options to build via the website, it can sometimes be a hassle when wishing to edit other things you have written and submitted into your JSON files such as Optional Features, or when you wish to import stuff you have built on the Homebrew Builder BACK to the JSON file. As such, adding such a file would be a nice QoL adjustment in making things just slightly more culpable.
Who would use it? Homebrewers such as myself! Those who use both the website's tools and programs to convert homebrew, as well as those looking to learn or create their own homebrew for use on the site. No longer will brewers have to combine the files for their spells and creatures into one! Or, it still happens, just not themselves!
How would it work? Adding a button to the left or right of the "view source content" on the Homebrew Manager page. It appears that content made in the Homebrew Builder still 'creates' the file as any normal JSON file would, so it should be theoretically possible to just print?
Why should this be added? It's certainly not a big deal, but I think it would be a pretty big Quality improvement for new or learning brewers. It could potentially be future-proofing for whatever other functions may eventually be added to the Homebrew Builder? Overall, I just think it'd be both helpful and neat!
