I have a warlock who can always have mage armor on, so I set my custom AC to 13+dex (I have 14 dex, so 15 ac), which worked fine, then I multiclassed into monk, and now the ac wont go above 14 with the custom calculation.
Hmm maybe I only imagined it used to work, still the way the AC customisations are written that is how I would expect it to work, add DEX to whatever number I put in. I'd also expect the ability to turn off unarmored defence as it's optional
I had a similar problem. I created a race that doesn't use dex at all in its AC and when I made them a monk, I don't know what happened.
Custom Race: AC = 12 + INT (which put it at 15)
Monk Unarmorded Defense: AC = 10 + DEX + WIS (which put it at 18)
It should be 18 (take the higher of the two, right?) but it reads 19 which makes me think it took the custom race and then added the WIS modifier. I had to make the race ignore DEX modifier to make the AC right for it but I think the Monk's Unarmored Defense should ignore racial features if it's higher, right?
Also, when I click the AC on the character screen to show what makes the number, it doesn't show all the numbers being added up, only a few. Though, the end results is still right (except for what I already posted above).

Are you expecting unarmored defense and mage armor to stack?
Edit. Nevermind, just read your post and realized I was going in the wrong direction.
When I set the Ac+Dex to 13 it doesn't add my Dex. Not sure how you got yours to calculate in the first place.
