Made Homebrew Weapon - Doesn't show up to add

I made a homebrew weapon called Javelin of Returning for one of my characters in my campaign last night.  However, I cannot seem to add it to the player's inventory.  Note that there is at least one other homebrew (public) Javelin of Returning which is cursed and which I don't want to use. 

The one I want is in my homebrew collection but I can't seem to find it to add to the players inventory in their character sheet.  Either I am stupid or the interface is crap for this or there's some massive delay before my homebrew stuff becomes accessible?  Can anyone help?

BTW, I just made my version of the Javelin public, but not sure it will even get approved.   But it shouldn't need that to work in my campaign yes?  If it matters, I am D&D Beyond Master...

Edit:  Ok now that I made it public and it was approved it shows up...  that shouldn't be required though should it?
