It sounds like you haven’t purchased any content here on DDB. Grappler and Sverfneblin magic are the only free feats, and the latter is only available to Deep Gnomes. Only material in the Basic Rules, the SRD, and the Element Evil Player’s Companion are available for free here. You can homebrew the feat, purchase the feat you want, purchase a bundle of feats (from the PHB and/or from Xanathar’s) or purchase the entire PHB or Xanathar’s. The buyer’s guide linked in my signature may be helpful to you.
If the homebrew feat is in your “creations” that is not the same as it being in your “collection.” It must be in “collection” or it will not be an option..
I’m having the same problem my lvl 10 variant human only has option to choose grappler feat when I already took the prodigy feat from being a variant human and I have all the source books.
If adding a feat instead of an ASI, that happens in the character builder, on the class page, in the section that is labeled Ability Score Improvement. If you are adding a feat outside of the ASI progression, that is done on the character sheet, in the features and traits section. Scroll down to the bottom or near the bottom of that section, and there will be a “manage feats” button.
When I'm adding a feat in for a variant human, it doesn't give the ASI associated with the feat. for example i was trying to add shadow-touched(charisma), but it didn't add it in automatically. also I switched it to alert, and also didn't gain the +5 to initiative.
I have copied a feat from the community and added it to two characters. But can't to the other three. It is not in the list with the other feats. I am the GM and have shared my content with the players.
For anyone else running into the same issue: in my case the feat was not part of my Homebrew Collection, meaning that my players nor I could add it to their characters.
What confused me is that it only showed up in the Feats list several minutes after I had added it to the collection.

I'm making this variant human character but when selecting the feat the only choice I'm given is grappler.

I cant add my homebrew feat to my character? WHY?!?!
You can. Do you have homebrew content enabled?
I'm having the same issue and I have homebrew content enabled.
Don't build the feat using copy, but build from scratch, making sure all the prerequisites are ok. The subclass parameter is tricky.

It does, it just doesn’t show it to you until after you look at the character sheet.

is homebrew enabled for those characters?
Wow, so simple of a check. That was the issue. Thank you.
