If I understand what you are after is, a simple way is to use the standard "GEMS, JEWELRY, ART OBJECTS" area but leave the value blank. You could add the wealth value in the description so that you can keep track of the value without tracking the wealth. Something like this:

Ah.. that's a good idea. I'd prefer it if gems etc could contribute to my total (i.e. stored + carried) wealth but I don't think that's possible, so this is the next best option (so far!). Thanks!

Is there a way to add the Revised Ranger? Could I somehow edit the existing Ranger?

There is no simple way to do that in this sheet.

The revised ranger is essentially a new class, so no, there is no clean or accurate way to add it to this generator.

The same will be true with the UA Mystic if it isn't a sub-class of an existing supported class, and from what I have seen it is a new class.

I have redone my take on the UA Warforged race, making them what I consider to be a bit cleaner, including "excel kung fu" formulas for the armor. I believe it is good for multiclassing, but have not tested it so there may well fail there. I am not an excel expert like FA (and others here), so I apologize if the formulas look clunky to you.

For the armor to work, I select an armor type in the same group.
None: I use None for no armor/unarmored defense (duh!), which will be overriden as Darkwood Core (no proficiency bonus).
Light: I use Leather armor, which will be overridden as Darkwood Core
Medium: I use Hide armor, which will be overriden as Composite Plating
Heavy: I use Chainmail armor, which will be overriden as Heavy Plating
Force: Mage Armor

Note 1: For the Trait Descriptions, for my personal use I have the complete entry included from the UA article, but decided to save space here and only include the header.
Note 2: For the Envoy and Skirmisher sub-races, unlike the Juggernaunt sub-race, I could not find any information regarding weight so left it blank.

For the Envoy's integrated tool feature I have not found a way to show the double proficiency bonus, except for Thieves Tools (they are a tool, after all!). For those I select them as the 5th entry under the Rogue's Expertise selection. Yes, they will probably be grey (unless you are a class that has that feature), but it should still work.

update: 4/11/2019 Reason: update armor overrides to handle Unarmored Defense (Barbarian and Monk) and Mage Armor. Like the base generator, if a characater has the Unarmored Defense feature from more than one source the highest AC will be used (not necessarily the first class to gain that feature).

update: 11/23/2019 Reason: just a note to say that now that the new Ebberon book is out with the official take on the Warforged race, this post is outdated. Get the book, it's cool.

Problem in beta 8.

Level 7 Bard Swords college. It says I'm now proficient with medium armor and it's correctly reported in my proficiencies on character sheet 1 but when equipping a Half plate which is medium, it says I'm not proficient. and it says the same thing for all other medium armor. It's not really a big problem since i can just ignore it.

Until (if) the developers make an appearance again, all I can say is that this is a known bug. For now you'll just have to use the override to make it work for you.

I still use this generator regularly, but have started to play around with the Hero Labs program (bought the 5th edition SRD pack ($35), and added the community pack (free)). There is definitely a learning curve, especially if you are trying to add custom material, but there is a lot of material (including UA and 3rd party) already available. I mention this as a possible alternative for folks wanting a custom/UA class that is not supported by FAs tool. Browsing through the forums there, it looks like people are having trouble adding the UA Artificer because it is a half-caster with cantrips (no SRD half-casters have cantrips). I didn't see a revised ranger, but I wasn't really looking for it, either.

 

[Conandar]

From what I can see, the Hero Labs program has a user-installed program (Windows), which is what I have, and also a web-interface version that they claim to be even better. I am avoiding web-based programs because of the lack of internet access where I play D&D. I have found a number of typoes in the data packs, some of which appear to be OCR-generated errors (lowercase-L or the nuber one, instead of a lowercase T, in particular).

I am also trying out Aurora Builder, which is a 5E generator program that is completely free. It appears to be based in the Netherlands, so some of the English language support may seem to be a trifle odd at times, but it is still very understandable. Haven't done much with it yet, but it has community-supplied data packs that appear to be even more comprehensive than the Hero Labs program.

Again, both of these programs only support the 5E SRD out of the "box" (keeping them legal and out of WotC/Hasbro's legal sights), but there are community-supported data packs which flesh them both out very well.
