Just noticed that the Potent Dragonmark feat, added with the release of Forge of the Artificer, doesn't work. Like, at all.
I applied it to my 8th level Elf Wizard who had already taken the Mark of Shadow feat (as required). It did nothing at all. It doesn't add the Ability Score Increase (in my case, Intelligence... had a 19, stayed a 19), it doesn't prepare the spells listed in your Spells of the Mark feature (I have to prepare them manually, which sucks up my limited preparation spell slots), and it doesn't add a 'Limited Use' toggle button for the Dragonmark Spellcasting feature either. It's as if taking this feat does absolutely NOTHING on the D&D Beyond character sheet.
To add on to the above: The best place to check for reports and to report bugs is the release threads for each book.
The issue is not with the book, it's with how D&D Beyond is using the material. I think it's natural to check the thread for D&D Beyond Bugs, rather than looking at reviews of a book which are going to be 90% the equivalent of "Cool book, bruh," and "first post, look at me!" I wanted answers for the issue that concerned me, not a multipage read through fluff to find whether it was addressed or not.
Anyway, thanks for responding, and I'm glad it's been reported by more than just myself. When I reported that Repeating Shot wasn't working, it was fixed within 24 hours. I'm hoping they can address this issue with similar urgency.

The release threads are actually specifically for focusing on bug reports about the new releases. Helps keep them together for better tracking. The general bug forum is better used for general site bugs.

This has been brought up almost daily since the release. It is very well known.

And yet, searches for "potent" and "dragonmark" revealed no existing threads.

Edit.
I noticed that same thing. DDB is not living up to its multi-million dollar valuation.
