I created a new character using the basic, standard character creation, with "Legacy" disabled. This character has the Elf->High Elf species, and according to "Elven Lineage" at level 1 this character should know Prestidigitation, which can be swapped out every long rest. The character sheet does not update to show this cantrip. I do, however, notice that there is a drop-down menu under "Species" for "Elven Lineage Spells," which should be irrelevant. There are no choices to make, per se, as each lineage has a set spell at levels 1, 3, and 5, so the menu seems out of place.
So does this mean that every long rest you want to change your cantrip, you have to go into "Manage" for your character rather than being able to change it in "Manage Spells"?
For the High Elf lineage specifically, since the cantrip granted is variable, you also have to select the one you want from a second drop-down. However, that drop-down will not appear until you've selected the spellcasting ability.
Although I dislike the way this is implemented (I should be able to swap lineage cantrips from the character sheet, either as part of the long rest or separately), I knew I could change it from the "Manage Characters & Levels" page. The problem was that even when spell casting ability was selected, with the cantrip (Prestidigitation) also selected, it was not appearing on the Character Sheet at all. This appears to have been fixed, however, within the last 12 hours or so.
I also dislike the fact you have to go into character builder simply to change the cantrip. It should show cantrips that you "prepare" like any other spell you have at your disposal.
From the Drow lineage, you are granted Faerie Fire, Dancing Lights and... Dancing Lights! (Exporting your character to PDF is amusing.) There does not appear to be a way to change these as a Rogue (3, Assassin). If you go to Spells : Manage Spells in your character sheet, it says, "You do not have spellcasting or pact magic spells to manage. The spells that appear for your character were gained through other class features, species traits, feats, or items." Perhaps this is intended, but the implementation with regard to PDF seems creaky.

Yeah, same problem. I'm sad no one has replied with a solution.
