I am making races for my own homebrew campaign and wanted to give to races the options to choose from Lizardfolk and Orc of Eberron skills.
When I make a copy of the Eberron Orc or Lizardfolk, in their trait modifiers it says "choose a Orc of Eberron skill" and "choose a Lizardfolk skill" respectively. But when I try to find the modifiers in my own homebrew race, those options don't show up. Even when I go to my copies of those two races, I am unable to add another "choose a Orc of Eberron skill" in addition to the already present modifiers, as if those options are hidden for some reason. It's not just my one homebrew race, but any I create. And I do own all relevant books on D&D beyond.
Other skill choices are available, like Minotaur or Centaur. I haven't checked every racial, so I don't know if even more are missing/hidden.
Hello flypirat! These are options created on the developer side, and are not available for homebrew. You can add a selection from multiple skills by creating an Option for each skill you would like to limit the race to.
The problem with that is, that I am unable to create options within options. I cannot create an option and then have different options within that.
In my case I have options in my races for their heritage, and some heritages give skills, but I cannot give them options of different skills unless that set of skills, like Lizardfolk skils, is predetermined.
I guess that's another thread on the suggestions board...
When creating options, there is a field that says "prerequisite racial trait option." So make 2 traits with options. One determines your heritage, the other is options based on heritage. The second list will have options have a prerequisite so they are only available to the correct heritage.
Dragonborn uses this to assign breath weapon and damage resistance based on Dragon color.

You can give options option prerequisites though. So they only appear as options if certain options were taken before.
I'm not sure what you are implying. How would I use prerequisites to create options within options?

I see, interesting. I’m going to try that, thank you!
I might have to redo all heritages using this, but it might make everything much smoother and more streamlined.
