I've been trying for hours to add a homebrew feat to my character, and I cannot get either a description or a snippet to show up on the character sheet. The full description will show when you bring it up in the list of feats you can add, but the feat on the character sheet will only show a title and the name of the action.
Am I doing something wrong, or are homebrew feats just bugged out for some reason?
You need to populate the snippet field for the whole feat for it to display under Features & Traits, and the snippet field for the Action to have that populate under Actions. If you don’t fill out both snippet fields it won’t display in both places.
After you do that you MUST re-save the entire homebrew using the main [SAVE CHANGES] button under Basic Information or the system won’t pick up your changes. After that it could take up to 20 minutes for those changes to push through to the character builder/sheet.
You may need to “wake up” your character sheet at this point by adjusting the class level up and back down to trigger it to update its cache. After that refresh the page again just to be safe.
The exact wordage of the snippet is "Take one additional action on your turn if your hit points are <25% of your max HP." I think the less than sign is being interpreted as markup code and is causing the descriptions to get blanked out as a result. I made another test feat with no special characters and it's displaying as expected.
Thank you for the suggestions!

I think I figured it out.
