Hello, I've just selected the Aberrant Dragonmark feat as a Variant Human lv1 feature, and it's not increasing my character's constitution by 1. I checked to see if it's a display issue, but the game doesn't seem to register a +1 ability improvement modifier on the Constitution stat.
An update: after leaving the builder and going through my character's sheet, it displays the stat correctly, but from a "Misc. Bonus" to the stat. It still doesn't show the correct value when I return to the builder.
What you see at the top of the Ability Score section of the Builder is what you got from rolling / Point Buy / Standard Array. Anything you get from your race, ASIs or feats shows in the Score Calculations area below, as the Racial Bonus, Ability Improvements, and Misc Bonus, respectively.

I know this, but other feats tell display their bonuses in that same selection screen, as well as update your total in the character builder, both of which aren't happening with this one. I tried taking a different feat that increases your ability scores to see if it was different, and it was.
Btw I'm not talking about the top numbers you get from rolling, but the totals displayed in the bottom, like you say, as well as the bonuses listed in between them.

Thanks for your help!

That’s a known bug with V Humans and Half-Feats. (Feats that also include a +1 to a single Ability are commonly referred to as “half-feats.”)
