I am creating a homebrew race using the Triton template. I have a section that shows spells they get at certain levels. I have the spells formatted as You can cast Water Breathing once per long rest and in the race description it shows the tooltip for that spell. One of them is a cantrip though. Initially I formatted this the same way using shape water but in the description it says You can cast shape water once per long rest and does not display the tooltip. I tried using You can cast [cantrip]shape water[/cantrip] once per long rest but I have the same issue. I'm not sure what I need to do to get Shape Water to show up for this race.
In further madness, when I did a preview of this post anywhere that I put spell in the brackets before Shape Water it works but when I put cantrip in the brackets it doesn't. So spell works here on the forums but not in my race description.
To add to what naruhoodie said, there are plenty of pinned tutorials on the homebrew section of the forums that will walk you through how to do most-all of the things within the homebrew creator. One of which is in blue bellow.
Thank you. I did do it as [Tooltip Not Found] but it did not come up for shape water on the homebrew page but it works here on the forum. I will review the link you provide and see if I am missing something.

Tooltips use [ spell] [ /spell] for both spells and cantrips. So, [ spell]Shape Water[ /spell] is what you want to use.

Are you copy/pasting by any chance? Because shape water works everywhere (except character sheets) when typed out correctly.
