Alright, so I'm facing an issue with a homebrew race. And there a number of issues that I'd like to bring to attention:
I'm running a homebrew game where I've completely changed dragons and allowed my players to play dragons. So far I've had to simply make custom monster sheets for them. So then I decided to try and make dragons a playable race by simply creating it. I tried using the Dragonborn template for the breath weapons. This turned out to be a mistake. It's common that DDB deletes any options you've worked on or anything you've written, unless you write in the Snippet box before hitting save. However, this time I could not edit anything. Even just trying to rename anything, like the draconic ancestry, was immediately deleted and reset.
Eventually I started completely from scratch, which fixed that issue.
But now, when trying to build a character with the race, the racial traits don't show up. Ability Score improvement doesn't work for whatever reason at all, and the rest are hidden. There is no reason for them to be, I have double checked everything, I don't get it... This is the race in question:
Can you post a link to your character sheet? When I test your race on one of my characters, it looks to work without any issues (in terms of adding the ability scores adding properly). Bear in mind that frequently changes don't appear right away - there can often be a small period of time (typically at most 20 minutes or so) where the server is cached and it's not showing any updates you may have made.
Ah, I see, I didn't know that. I double checked the race about fifteen times in the same span of ten minutes, but it does seem to be working now. Thanks!
Same here, I'm tweaking the Changeling race to homebrew in a unique parentage and all of the draconic traits I've added (breath weapon, resistance) aren't showing up. It's been a few days at this point and I'm still unable to use these features and select from the options that I've put in a couple of them. Any advice/help? Thank you!

Same thing for me, when I try to save it deletes all racial features but even if I type in EVERYTHING! For name, snippet, description etc..

Did you make sure to set the feature type
