Hey guys, I made an alternate version of shadow magic sorcery with subclass specific spells. It was working fine but now only half of them show up on the character sheet. Has anyone else experienced this?
What spells aren't showing up? I took a look at the character sheet and all of them (other than Arcane Hand and Creation) show up, which is correct as those are higher level spells that a character of that level wouldn't normally have access to.

Arms of Hadar Level 1, Summon Shadowspawn Level 3, Shadow of Moil Level 4. They do no appear on my character sheet. I signed out and signed back in and only half the choices appear (I didn't program in Darkness because it already appears through another ability). Summon Shadowspawn I assume is due to the fact DnD beyond hasnt fine-tuned the new summoner spells from Tasha's.
None of the Witherbloom spells show up. I have added the feat from the background
Druidcraft, Spare the Dying, Find Familiar? I see all three of them in your Spells.
That's from the feat. The background itself gives you access to several spells (including cure wounds and inflect wounds). I am not able to get these if I elect to customize my background.
That specific background adds those spells to your class’ list of spells you can learn/prepare if you so choose, it doesn’t automatically give you those spells. But there’s a misnomer about customizing your background, you aren’t “customizing that background,” you are instead “taking a custom background.” By doing so you are not taking the Witherbloom Student background that adds those spells to your list.
But shouldn't you be able to with a custom background? The wording of the Witherbloom Initiate feature says that you get the Strixhaven initiate feat and "In addition, if you have the Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature, the spells on the Witherbloom Spells table are added to the spell list of your spellcasting class."
So this to me makes it seem like if I choose custom background and choose the Witherbloom Student for the background feature, I should get both the initiate feat and the extra spells.

That would make sense, but currently, DDB is only able to tie the additional spell list to the background, not to a particular background feature (which can be selected for a custom background.) You'd need to make a homebrew background based on the Witherbloom Initiate in order to take advantage of that functionality.
Also there isn't functionality yet for adding a feat via a background (see the Strixhaven support thread), so you'd need to add the feat manually.

D&D Beyond StaffCan you also post a link to the homebrew itself? It need not be public for a mod such as myself to take a look.

you have to use the homebrew to get it all to work.
