Custom Compendium

Score + 1683
Kind of silly this isn't a feature yet. Especially since people have been asking for it for nine years.
This would be a gods-send for me, since I run Pathfinder 1e, and Roll20 absolutely botched their implementation of the SRD.  The entirety of Pathfinder is available through it, but you didn't even implement the full Core Rulebook (none of the magic items are in it).

If I could add more votes, I would. Using a library game to store custom items and NPC character sheets gets cumbersome, and doesn't have drag-and-drop capability.
How is this still  not a feature? I've started trying out other VTTs because I just can't do a proper homebrew without this. But I really prefer Roll20, and pay for Pro in addition to buying modules, so I really don't want to leave it for something else.
Why isn't this a thing still
+1 It si about time this comes along it has been asked for since the start of Roll20. It is one reason I leverage DND beyond and do not buy DND supplement books in Roll20, which of course hurts me with being able to leverage API's and features in Roll20
Wow, how can there be this many comments, most by Pro accounts, begging for the ability to create a custom compendium, and they still haven't even announced a plan to work on it? Weirdly, there is  a button labeled "Compendium" that appears  to be for that, but when I click on it, they say it's only for official builders of officially released games. So I can't use it. How am I supposed to alpha and beta test my game when you have to be beyond that point before Roll20 will let me use it? Does anyone understand how to use Foundry and will to message me? It says you can build a custom compendium on it, but I don't understand how to use that vtt at all. And Tableplop and Beyond TT don't appear to have custom compendium either.
+1 on that one 
+1 Must have and a game changer for homebrewing. The only reason I don't bother with custom spells is because it is a bother to copy them from one character to another (as the process is entirely manual). Having this will open up so many possibilities for me and my players. Edit: After checking other tool's I've decided that once I finish my current campaign I'll swap over to Foundry. It's a shame, I really like Roll20 but me and my players really like homebrewing and it's too much work in this platform.  If you don't care about homebrewing then Roll20 is still a great platform to use in my opinion. Also, I've decided I don't want to support Roll20 anymore. I've come to learn that this thread has existed for over 9 years and only 3 years ago its status was changed to "Researching". Since then, to my knowledge, there were no further updates from the devs and we were left in the dark. I've worked in Customer Success departments in the past for multiple companies and that is not how you handle customers (especially those that are part of subscription model). In my opinion, if you don't maintain updates and constant communication with your customers or community its the equivalent of betraying their trust. If for some reason that feature is not possible at least have the decency to say so openly instead of leading the community on bred crumbs for years.
