5e Compendium lacks Concentration details

I posted in the bug forum several months ago, when the compendium layout was changed, about how the compendium for 5e lacked any mention of concentration on spells that required it, instead simply saying 'Yes' after one of the detail lines at the top. While very inconvenient, it at least had the relevant information. Now, however, there are no details about concentration on ANY of the spell cards at all, which means that if anyone wants to use the roll20 compendium in a game to look up a spell, they will always be missing relevant information. At the moment, they're forced to use a different resource, such as a physical book or D&D Beyond if they simply want to know how to use their spells correctly.

The spell card is missing the information, but if you click the "Show Attribute List" link, it shows the old format with the Concentration: Yes attribute.
Yes, but that's hardly intuitive. The average player or DM stands a good chance of not noticing/knowing what the Show Attribute button does (mine didn't). I understand the desire to show the new spell cards, but if the information on them is incomplete, then the older Attributes should be what is shown initially when you search for spells, not the spell cards.  The fact that the 'Duration: Yes' that was in the new spell cards 3 months ago has now been removed means someone is apparently working on fixing this in some way, but it's disappointing to see that the current fix is a button some folks won't notice while actually removing the information completely from the card. I'm sure they'll get around to fixing it eventually when they have the time, but it's a rather slapdash solution to the problem.

Yes. I paid to have the player handbook and others added to my roll20 but I feel like the information can’t be trusted. So I’ve wasted money. This has caused a lot of grief in my game with arguing over concentration requirements. You guys should really fix this if you expect people to pay $50 a digital book...........
