So I've finally convinced my kid to play with my group, but only under the condition that she gets to play a sentient cloak, like the one Dr. Strange wears. Cool! So I've created this new race for her, but when we created her character, I noticed that I accidentally forgot to add the ability score modifiers to the homebrew race. So I go back in, add them, no biggie.
But they're not carrying over to the character builder. I've tried changing her character's race to something else and then back to the homebrew one and when that didn't work, creating a whole new character for her, but that didn't work either. When I go back into my homebrew race, the modifiers are there and everything's perfect.
This has happened 3 times with different changes we wanted to make, and each time, the only way I've managed to get the changes to apply to any character is to re-create the homebrew race. Problem is, that's super time consuming and I've now had to re-create this race 3 times just to make simple changes. And I know this isn't the last version, either; We're going to test it out, play with it, and figure out other cool things to do. So of course re-creating the race every time we think of a new cool thing to add just isn't gonna happen.
Anybody else having this problem? Did I miss a post where somebody already reported and/or fixed this? If so, I'm sorry! I swear I searched! :-)
------EDIT------
Weeeeeeeeellll I'm a genius. I just went back in and now all the changes are there. Maybe it was just a delay?

Yes, there is often a caching delay.
