I was wondering if you could help me with a few issues I am facing with my homebrew race.
1) I am unable to delete racial traits from my homebrew.
2) In the character builder all the subraces show up individually instead of being grouped in the parent race. I am not sure if this the intended functionality of homebrew races or not.
3) When I select a subrace it doesn't get the general bonuses from the parent race. Ex I want the parent to grant +1 Dex and the subraces to give additional bonuses like +2 Int.
4) Also the Hide in Builder and Hide in Sheet aren't working correctly. Currently, it's all or nothing. The traits are only hidden when both are checked.

1.) If you aren't able to delete the racial traits, you may want to go to the Bugs forum. They can either delete it for you, or walk you through it, if there's something prohibiting you from doing so yourself.
2.) There is a "race group" drop down folder inside of the homebrew builder. You have to link that to the race, not just create a subrace from the parent race. In other words, if you create a subrace for the elf called Volcanic Elf, but don't set the Race Group to "Elf" then it would not be grouped together when you're building your character. Once you set it, it will go to the drop down folder.
3.) Can you give more detail? What race is the parent race? Is it a homebrew one you created?
4.) I've had some issue with this too. This might also be better fit for the bug forum.
4) I'm not sure where the Bugs forum is, I thought I posted in that forum.
1) I repurposed my trait I needed to be deleted to another trait.
2 & 3.) I created a homebrew race and homebrew subraces. In the homebrew subraces, I saw the race group dropdown but I couldn't select my homebrew race in that dropdown. Since I didn't select my homebrew race as the parent race this is probably why the ability bonuses from the parent homebrew race didn't apply to the subraces. But what is strange is other traits on the homebrew parent race show up on the subraces. I ended up moving the ability bonus modifiers from the parent homebrew race to each individual subrace.
Just realized we are already in the Bug forum XD my bad lol I had several forums up at the same time. Disregard that comment.
1) Glad you found a work around.
2-3) Right now, there's no way to select a homebrew race from the race group drop down, only official races. So that's 100% why that doesn't work. I think they did say they are working on that. But I'm not sure if there is a difference between adding a subrace while you're in the parent race's homebrew creation, and if you click create a subrace from the initial choice "Create a base race- subrace- variant race", as I've only used the former to do so. I'm not sure how you did it, but that does seem very strange that it works for some and not others. But as long as you got it working that's good.
Hopefully a moderator can see this and take a look at your race. If you drop a link to the race here, they can click on it and start to dig in when they see this thread.
One solution I have found is to create a racial trait that uses 'Options', and then have my subraces be different options. It's not perfect but it works well enough.

Thanks for the help :). Also, I am unsure how to share a link to my homebrew race.
By the way your Ianuria Aracter/Dongho Khan is funny/interesting/cool
