When you create a cleric subclass based on the Life Domain, the list of additional spells includes a spell called something like "Copy of Spiritual Weapon". It doesn't seem like this is intentional seeing as how it also includes the actual Spiritual Weapon spell.
That’s a homebrewed spell someone in your campaign has in their collection.
That's not the part that I'm confused about. I'm confused why that would show up in the list of additional spells when using an official subclass that D&D Beyond owns and controls as the template. Homebrew that someone creates isn't tied to any particular campaign, and if I'm creating a character outside of the context of a campaign, I can't actually use any content that isn't owned or wasn't created by me regardless of whether I'm in a campaign with someone who has that content—i.e. if one of my players owns a book I don't own, I can use options when creating characters as part of that specific campaign, but not from my general "My Characters" view.
Just to be make sure that I'm not miscommunicating anything here: I go to the Create Homebrew Subclass screen, choose the Cleric class, choose the Life Domain subclass, and then click the "Create" button below the subclass dropdown menu. When I do that, I see "COPY_OF_SPIRITUAL WEAPON" in the "Additional Specific Spells" field. I get that this is some homebrew spell that someone created, but it seems odd to me that it would show up in the universal homebrew creation system, especially considering that homebrew I create would be applicable to all campaigns of which I'm a part, but most players will not be in the same campaign as whoever created that homebrew spell (and thus wouldn't have access to it).
Because the spell has that official subclass listed as one of the spell lists upon which the spell appears, it automatically maps the spell to the subclass, which automatically makes it “always prepared” for that subclass.
