I'm trying to make a magically inclined race that has the ability to pick a necromancy cantrip at level 1 and level 5. I've gone over the race creator several times, but can't figure out how to format it so that when the race is picked, they have the option to click a drop down and select one of the four spells. I've figured out how to add the spells individually (still no option to select them) and I've figured out how to add them to a character's spell list. What I'm looking for is a drop down like when you select "Choose a language".
Is this not a feature that's currently available or am I just blind?

Under the racial Trait that’s supposed to offer those choices, in the field labeled “Character Levels where Options Known” you want to list “1,5” to set it so the player can pick one of the available options at 1st level, and another at 5th. Then, make a separate “option” for each of those cantrips, and attach each spell to its corresponding Option using the Spells subform (“Add a Spell”).

Do you have access to the cleric Death Domain? They have a feature like that at 1st level, Reaper. If so, copy that and see how it works.

Give me your address. I will overnight you my first born when I have one. You are a godsend!

I explained how to set up options in this thread:

(I was explaining for subclasses, but it’s the same process with races except they don’t like “granted options.” 🤷♂️
