Oath of the Crown still bugged. Any updates on this?
The only workaround I had was to home-brew the subclass.
Thankfully, you can just copy the Oath of the Crown subclass as a template. Then go into the class features sections, edit the oath spells. Scroll down to the spells section, and then manually add the 10 spells. When you add them, just choose the 2024 versions of the spells, and then go to the bottom, and select yes on consumes spell slot and always prepared: make sure you select no on counts as known spell. Ensure you're made them available for the specific character level. Then repeat until all 10 oath spells are listed. Then save on the section and then save on the subclass.
I've called the class Oath of the Crown (2024 Variant), and those spells will now appear on your character sheet as always prepared and don't count towards your prepared list when you select this home-brew subclass.
It took me about half an hour to add all 10 spells. It's not ideal, but it'll at least work.
Don't forget to also go into the description text for the feature and edit the markup tags for the spell names from "spell" to "spells".
I've toyed around with the idea of making a browser extension that you run from the D&D Beyond webpage that automates adding all of these Homebrews since you can't bloody share 'em. Eh...
What does that do?
The tag "spell" refers back to 2014 spell descriptions, i.e. the "legacy" spells. The tag "spells" updates the reference to the 2024 spell description.
So if you're adding the 2024 spells as the spells added by class feature, i.e. the Oath Spells, then in the description for that feature, the table of Oath Spells granted at each level, you'll want to update the tags on those entries to use the "spells" tag instead of the "spell" tag. If you don't update the tags then even though you'll see the 2024 spells on the Spells Page of the Character, when you look at the Features Page of the Character under the Oath Spells description it will reference the 2014 spells.

Player has a 5th level Oath of Vengeance paladin. Should have five “always prepared” spells and six daily selected spells. Oddly DnDBeyond labels four spells as always prepared but they seem to count against his daily spells. Not sure. Anyway he ends up with only eight spells instead of eleven. A fix would be greatly appreciated.

If they're using 2024 Oath of Vengeance, it doesn't always have the spells that come with the subclass marked as "always prepared" on the spell list, causing the player to additionally prepare those spells. Make sure the player has Bane, Hunter's Mark, Hold Person, and Misty Step as unprepared. They can prepare any other spell to get them to their 6. Then on their character sheet under spells, those class specific spells should be there.

I’ve helped my player with their character sheet and DnDBeyond won’t let them “unprepare” Bane, Hunter’s Mark, Hold Person, and Misty Step. Worse, those “always prepared” spells aren’t supposed to count against the number of spells he can prepare, but Hold Person and Misty Step seem to be counted against the number of spells he can prepare (not to mention Find Steed). Before he reached fifth level DnDBeyond accurately allowed him his full number of spells plus his always prepared spells. Anyway, I haven’t been able to get your suggestion to work. Maybe something in the settings, but I can’t figure out what. I’d love a fix for this because the player is relatively new and jotting down his spells is likely to result in forgetting about them. Open to workarounds, though.

That’s weird. Did they pick 2024 Oath of Vengeance as the subclass from the Core/PHB? My Vengeance Paladin character on DDB at 5th level isn’t having those issues. The only workaround I could think of is to homebrew the 2024 PHB Vengeance subclass by copying the standard subclass and manually add the spells as prepared, but the 2024 version shoudn’t be having those issues: it’s the 2014 ones that are being played in a 2024 game and the bug is that the spells aren’t showing as always prepared.

AMAZING! Thank you. I've updated.
Glad I could help!
