If you're a Lore Bard, Additional Magical Secrets seems to work just fine, but Magical Secrets at 10, 14 and 19 seem to willy nilly decide what spells are allowed to populate onto the spell list. Of what I've attempted to learn (Acid Arrow, Lightning Arrow, Flame Arrows, Swift Quiver, Hunter's Mark and Hail of Thorns) only one (Hail of Thorns) shows up on one of my test characters and a different spell (Acid Arrow) shows up on a separate character my. I selected the same spells at the same levels in the same spots, but only two of the six appear, neither on my spell list, only in the attacks section, meaning I'm unable to add it to my spell list and actually cast it using a spell slot.
I've created several Bards, and they all experience this same issues. I was hoping that after today's big update this might be magically remedied, but that unfortunately is not the case. Is this something support is aware of? Is there a potential fix for it incoming?
Edit: As a side note, I've tried this with probably half the available spells and the system seems to vary wildly as to what it will allow to populate, but I've never gotten more than one spell to show up in my actions list, and zero on my spell list.

I just had the same problem, tried to pick Crown of Stars for one of my lvl 14 picks. It is a Sorceror/Warlock/Wizard spell of 7th level so should be selectable but doesn't appear on the list. Other spells of same level (e.g. Conjure Celestial) appear correctly.
Could this be because the one I'm looking for is from Xanathar's Guide (which I own on D&D Beyond too).
Actually I worked out the issue, the list is alphabetical for each book, keep scrolling past the end of the PHB spells and you'll then see the spells for other books with each book starting from A again.
It would be better if the whole list could be a single A-Z listing but I'll work with it for now!

Well, it looks like the problems with Magical Secrets are still an issue after all? Hopefully this gets resolved in due time.
