I have just started using DnD Beyond. Took a bit to figure everything out, but it's pretty handy.
I have recently rebuilt my current character (Wizard 6 Bladesinger). Obviously, I had to purchase the SCAG to do so.
One thing I can't figure out though - for some reason, the Booming Blade cantrip insists on showing up twice in the cantrip spell list. Once with the header "wizard" and once with the header "cantrip". Note - I've only ADDED it to the cantrip list once...
It also duplicates the effect in the weapon listing with my rapier (which is my main issue - it clutters up that tiny area with repeat info).
I am playing a Forest Gnome Wizard. Forest Gnomes get minor illusion as a racial ability and when I selected the illusion arcane tradition for a wizard it also included minor illusion under the Improved Minor Illusion Wizard feature. This feature also states that if you already have that cantrip you can select a different one and it doesn't count against the number of cantrips known.
I was not able to select a different cantrip. I now have minor illusion listed twice on my character sheet and I am unable to remove one of them or edit the wizard arcane tradition feature. There wasn't a drop down menu to select a spell.
I looked at the previous posts but there is not a way for me to select a different spell as a racial ability like you can with a high elf.
Is there a fix for this or do I just need to customize the class feature to get a different cantrip?

The OP's problem was that they didn't know where the duplicated spell was coming from. Your problem is similar, but not the same.
The devs know about this problem, and hopefully will fix it eventually.
In the meantime, there are a few work arounds. You can make a homebrew feat to select a new cantrip, homebrew a copy of the race or subclass that replaces the cantrip with a choice, homebrew an item that lets you cast the cantrip you want, or force an extra cantrip onto the character in manage spells.
You don’t “fix” it because it’s not broken. Like I told you in the other thread, one of them says “CAST” and you can cast it normally using spell slots. The other says “USE,” and you can only use it a number of times equal to your proficiency bonus, and you regain all expended uses when you finish a long rest.

Any idea on how to fix this?
Link to character so mod can check it.
I believe this was solved already (link). Appears the query was posted in two locations.
User was a High Elf and selected Booming Blade as their racial cantrip.
I have this issue as well.

My circle of stars druid has a duplicate guiding bolt cantrip from my star map, how do I fix it?
