I'm in the process of recreating my 5e Aarakocra character with the new rules and when I go into "3. SPECIES" under "SPECIES TRAITS" there should be an "Ability Score Increase" dropdown. This is present in my 5e character and not present in my new rules character. It states pretty clearly on the Aarakocra "Species Details" page "Your Dexterity score increases by 2, and your Wisdom score increases by 1", so I'm confident this is a bug / oversight.

In the new system ASIs are granted by backgrounds instead of by species, even if you’re using one of the older races as the species: (https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/free-rules/character-origins#OriginComponents)—>(https://www.dndbeyond.com/sources/dnd/free-rules/creating-a-character#BackgroundsandSpeciesfromOlderBooks).
