It isn't shown anywhere. I'm not sure if this is a bug or a conscious decision by the team to omit it from the character builder tool. This isn't limited to just homebrew subclasses: none of the official subclasses have the introductory text.
Bumping this because still no answer and it's kinda infuriating to have to input something when you have no idea what purpose or function it's meant to serve or if you're filling that purpose or function given that you can't see where and how it's functioning.
"The short description shown as introductory text in the character builder."
This is insufficient description for the function of the short description. It might be fine for people who don't care or take pride in their efforts but for those who do, this is a consistent source of irritation. If it's entirely redundant and serves no purpose then, for the love of anal retentive creators everywhere, just tell us.

"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."
When creating a subclass, you have to input a short description. The explanatory tooltip says:
But for the life of me, I can't see that being shown anywhere in the character builder, with homebrew subclasses or official ones.
"Most people are other people. Their thoughts are someone else's opinions, their lives a mimicry, their passions a quotation."

Does anyone know the answer to this?

The short descriptions are only shown on character sheets, not the character builder or homebrew description.
Where?

For subclass features it is under features and traits.
Features, yes, but the short description of the subclass itself?

Shayone | Hobgoblin | Sorcerer | Netherdeep
Oh that. No idea.
Mods?

Oh, and, this is still happening:

I'm really glad there is at least a form topic for this so that I don't spend any more time trying to appease my inner perfectionist.
I have tested extensively and as far as I can tell the “Short Description” is shown absolutely nowhere, only the full description is ever displayed.
