yes, what you're seeing is correct - the official races are grouped by a "race header" and, at this time, only the official races that have subraces have race headers.
I understand this isn't as intuitive as it could be - hopefully there'll be a way to group homebrew subraces under the homebrew parent race at some point in the future. :)
That's under an already built race, I would like to display it under a homebrew race, couldn't work out any way to do so. I've used the one in your screenshot heaps. It would be nice if I could select my homebrew races under the "race group" section.
Yes, I would also like to know if there will be progress on this, since it was originally posted 4 years ago. I would also like to have a drop down menu for my homebrew race.
Hi,
I've just created a race and with it, 3 subraces. I was hoping that it would be formatted like the elf
when it comes to character creation like this:
But instead, the original race is not visible and the 3 subraces are each there but spread across the race
selection in alphabetical order.
I'm under the impression I've done everything right, is this the only way to make hb-subraces appear??

That's fine for now, I fully support this project so I will wait patiently. :)
But I'm holding out for Homebrew Races to have race headers in the not too distant future.
Thanks for such a quick reply!

Has there been any progress on this front? i've got a race with 3 subraces and i would love for this to work.
I would also be interested in this being implemented
Hey dude, this feature has since been implemented. As shown below:

Still no progress on this?...

I would also love to know if there has been any development on this at all?
There has not, nor does anyone expect there will be.
