I've got a player in my campaign who's new to using D&D Beyond. He says for his Variant Human feat he's only being given the option to select Grappler.
If I try to edit his sheet, I can see the full feat list selection as expected under Variant Human. However, if I try to select Great Weapon Master for him (the feat he wanted), or apparently any feat other than Grappler, I get a 403 error. (While I haven't tried every single non-Grappler feat, I have tried a number of different ones, all with the same result.) I also get the same error if I try to add the feat manually from the Features & Traits tab. Unless I try to add Grappler.
If I select Grappler as his racial feat, or manually add Grappler, everything works exactly as expected. Except, obviously, that's not the feat the player wants for his character. Given that he says Grappler is the only feat showing up in the list at all for him, I imagine whatever is causing the problem is causing both issues.
Edit: Apparently Grappler is the only feat under OGL, which would explain why it's Grappler that works and not anything else. But the campaign the character is in has sharing enabled (and all other characters in the campaign work just fine). And the character in question was also created by me then claimed by the player (3 of the 4 other characters in the campaign were done the same way, with the remaining player bringing in a character he created himself).
Edit 2 [solved]: I disabled content sharing in the campaign then re-enabled it, and was able to successfully set GWM on the character without a 403 error. I guess the character just got out of sync with the sharing or something.
