If I make a custom background and choose "guide" as the background feature, I don't see anywhere to pick the magic initiate feat's 2 cantrips and level 1 spell. I tested this with the "acolyte" and "sage" backgrounds and didn't see the feat for them either.
If I instead pick the "guide" background (instead of a custom dropdown) it does give me the magic initiate feat options as expected.
You’ll have to manually add the feat if you’re using Custom Background. You can do that on the sheet itself by going to Features & Traits > Manage Feats.
