I have noticed that when making a new character with the Folk Hero background, you are able to select any of the 17 artisan's tools (as you should), but when selecting starting equipment, the drop down for which artisan tool you take only has 9 of the options (alchemist, brewer, mason, painter, potter, smith, tinker, weaver, and woodcarver), with the other 8 missing.
Of course you can always add the one you need manually after the fact as a work around, but I worry a new player just following the drop down will be confused when the item they selected a proficiency in is not on the list where it should be.
Thanks in advance, and apologies if there's some obvious explanation I can't see.

I ran into this as well. This is very confusing and should be resolved.
