Yeah, I was trying to figure out if it was just me, I tried custom background, but nothing really worked there. I tried a homebrew background, and I was able to select all (origin feat works you have to add it as extra feat after saving the description). Ability scores are the only thing that is not possible to add at the moment. And you have to repeat the same thing for tools, and equipment like 3 times in 3 different sections, which is counteintuitive..
I am not getting choices for the feat or attributes when using 2024 rules in the character creator. I have tried waiting for caching (as someone above offered), and still nothing. Closed/reopened the page, restarted Safari, etc. nothing fixes it. Currently, I have to choose the feat by choosing an existing background that provides said feat, and then switching to custom background. That still does not allow me to choose my attribute modifiers, which do not show up anywhere. Seems like a rather unfortunate problem for a major aspect of the rules, especially the new rules.

Yeah, it’s all over the place, I think the easiest workaround is to manually add feats after you finished the character creation and use overrides in the attribute section for now.
But character creation has a bunch of issues, warlock invocations that are supposed to be repeatable don’t allow you to do that, it won’t let you select starter feat from the invocation, background feats that you have options like magic initiate won’t let you pick the option, they might all be related to the same js issues but overall it looks very unpolished.
Another bug with backgrounds in general is that bonuses to abilities allow you to double up on a single ability (add 1 to an ability, and then add 2 to the same ability). I am not sure the rules as written allow for that, just saying.

Glad I found this thread. I too am having issues with making a custom background, specifically when using the Character Generator, Standard Method. Acrobatics is not among the available choices when choosing beginning Skill Proficiencies. It seems like a few of the choices are missing, but since I'm making a Custom Rogue I am particularly interested in having that benefit as part of their background.
When choosing a custom background, the proficiencies, both skills and languages or tools, don't immediately appear on the character sheet.
PS: please make and add a homebrew mundane item builder. I really need it!
It seems also that the Create Homebrew Background does not support the new rules (2024).
It is not possible to select the orign feat and the three ability scores associated to it.

That was also true of the previous version of the character editor, before 2024.

Can confirm, Custom Backgrounds are currently broken and don't work correctly.
You create 2024 backgrounds and 2014 custom backgrounds don't apply the selected Prodificiencies to the character
