Hi! I made a Fighter subclass which I can't publish because it's flagged as "too similar to the circle of spores subclass" and "does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels".
I made it first from the Champion subclass (so I had to just rewrite the feature) and it was flagged as "too similar to the champion subclass", so I redid it from scratch and now it prompts those errors. Is there any way to fix it?
EDIT: I just noticed the same things is happening to my School of Chronomancy Wizard subclass. Is it a site-wide bug?
I have also seen "too similar to circle of spores" on a test homebrew subclass for blood hunter. The subclass only has spellcasting feature and only "testing" in descriptions. I have resaved it multiple times, and the message never changed, so I think this is a bug.

Publishing Homebrew is designed for completed works - you shouldn't be attempting to publish test instances.
I thought about putting "this homebrew is just for testing and I obviously have no intention of publishing it," but decided it wasn't relevant to the bug report.
I did save it though. I am even using it on a character I built but it still gives me those two errors. I'm pretty sure that's a bug (no idea why would flag a Fighter and a Wizard subclasses as too similar to the same and totally unrelated Druid subclass). Also the Fighter one has features for all required levels but it's flagged as if it had not without apparent reason.
I went back and realized the Wizard subclass gets the "This homebrew Subclass does not have the necessary class features with the correct required levels." too. I think the system flags any subclass created from scratch as "Circle of the Spores" copies for some reason.
If you have no description, it will automatically flag it as too similar to CoS. You need a proper subclass description. Eg.
The archetypal Champion focuses on the development of raw physical power honed to deadly perfection. Those who model themselves on this archetype combine rigorous training with physical excellence to deal devastating blows.
I also got the Circle of Spores issue on my Spiritblade Barbarian subclass. I noticed that I had both my Short Description and Description had the same wording. After I changed my short description, I was able to publish it.

D&D Beyond FoundersAfter you have added the subclass features, hit the save button.
Whether the homebrew is eligible to publish is only assessed when you save it.

Wary the wizard who focuses on homebrew, for he can create nightmares that you wouldn't even dream of

Both the subclasses have a description.
Still doesn't explain the other error.
What levels do the two subclasses have features at?
You can see here https://imgur.com/a/cRiQFTY that both subclasses have features for the required levels.
