When a character reaches a level where he or she can add a new feat to their character sheet there is currently not an option to add racial feats to the character sheet from the Ability Score Improvement dropdown like the standard feats. Is there a plan to add racial feats to that dropdown?
All valid feats that you have access to should be displayed as available to select - this may require you to purchase the feat or compendium it is in to unlock it. Most of the racial feats are in Xanathar's Guide to Everything.
Is there any specific feat that you are trying to select and not finding?
The feat Drow High Magic seems fine. Could you provide the url for your character please? A moderator can then check to see if there is a reason the feat wouldn't appear for the character.
(only devs/moderators will be able to access the character from the url).
However... if your DM allows you to take the feat on a half-elf, you can use the D&D Beyond homebrew system to create a copy of the feat and change the pre-requisite. You can then use your homebrew version of the feat instead.
Please note, when doing this, you do not need to publish the feat - it's for your own use only. :)
Thanks for the suggestion. I went ahead and created the homebrew feat. However, I am not able to see that feat listed in the feat dropdown on under the "class" tab for my character. Could you review the feat and confirm that I created it correct? This is the first time I have done so. The URL for the feat is https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/feats/9479-half-elf-drow-high-magic
Hi, my character is a Drow and I cannot see nor add 'Drow High Magic' to my character sheet etiher? Could you please assist?
Have your purchased the feat or Xanathar's here? Or is this character in a campaign with content sharing turned on? If the answer to both those questions is no, there's your problem.
If the character is in a campaign with content sharing on, someone in the group needs to won Xanathar's or the feat here on DDB. If they do, ask the person with the Master Tier sub to turn content sharing off and then back on.
If you have purchased Xanathar's or the feat here and can't access it, please post a link to you character sheet.
I actually can't see any of the racial feats from Xanathar's Guide to Everything listed in the available feats, but I know it's shared with me because I can read the book on the site. Specifically, I'm looking to get the racial feat: Elven Accuracy for my half elf. Any help?

Is the character in question in the campaign where content is being shared? If so, please post a link to the character. If not, that’s likely the issue.
Are you certain that this is the campaign in which Xanathar's is being shared? If you are in more than one campaign, it's possible that Xanathar's is being shared in a different one.
If you are sure Xanathar's is available in that campaign, then ask whoever is provided content sharing to turn it off and back on again.
I was able to get this work with the above steps and resharing from the campaign. It was weird, that book is shared with me from 2 different campaigns and I guess the other one just needed a kick?
I am running into a similar issue ( unsure if its user error or not), trying to add a racial feat from xanthar's "Wood elf- wood elf Magic" ( I own it, and I'm sharing it).
it is a wood elf I am trying to add it to but cant seem to be able to do so.

Thanks for the response. I'm not seeing the Drow Elf feat "High Drow Magic" in the dropdown.

You're correct. I didn't realize the Drow High Magic was only for Elf Drow. My character is a half-elf drow.
Would it be possible to add the Drow High Magic to the Half-Elf Drow racial feats as well?

D&D Beyond FoundersUnfortunately the feat is for Drow only.
However... if your DM allows you to take the feat on a half-elf, you can use the D&D Beyond homebrew system to create a copy of the feat and change the pre-requisite. You can then use your homebrew version of the feat instead.

Nevermind. It is working now. Thank you!

Yup, it's in the campaign: https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/spaceboybaca/characters/63951132
I'm stumped.
Are you certain that this is the campaign in which Xanathar's is being shared? If you are in more than one campaign, it's possible that Xanathar's is being shared in a different one.
If you are sure Xanathar's is available in that campaign, then ask whoever is provided content sharing to turn it off and back on again.
If that doesn't do it, check you entitlements Here: https://www.dndbeyond.com/account/marketplace. If it says you need to sync, do so.
If still no luck, ask the content sharer to do so, and then turn sharing off and back on again. Then check your entitlements again.
If that still doesn't get you anywhere and no one else has suggestions, you could submit a support ticket.
Please do let us know what of these steps resolves things for you.

NVM I Found my mistake, I was trying to add it on the Race screen vs adding it on the ability score Mod/ Feat section
