I encountered a few things that are preventing me from recreating my character using the character creation tool:
1. When leveling up you have the option of swapping out an Eldritch Invocation, at level 3, after getting Pact of the Tome, on my character, I chose to swap out Agonizing Blast for Book of Ancient Secrets. This isn't possible with the D&D Beyond tool.
2. Another issue, again involving the Book of Ancient Secrets, is that there's no place that I could find to choose to add rituals in the D&D Beyond Character Sheet.
3. Lastly, I have a custom background that I used for my character. There's no way to create custom backgrounds in the current version of D&D beyond. This isn't as game-breaking though, as I just have to ignore some of the roleplaying aspects on the D&D Beyond sheet, and just use my own.
Hopefully these things can be addressed soon, since I'd love to use this tool but can't justify the subscription until these things are fixed.
Darn, I was just on my way back to this post to delete/edit my initial reply after finding out how DDB works on my own. Now my ignorance is set in digital stone for all to see!
Regardless, I hope the OP's questions get addressed. I didn't mean to detail the thread.
If you haven't unlocked the Players Handbook, all you will see is the The Fiend because that is the only Patron in the SRD. Once you unlock the PHB, then you see others.
One other Warlock issue - it isn't obvious to me how to designate which weapon is your Pact blade for Warlocks that use them. My warlock used Longsword which, because it is his pact blade, he is proficient with... But no way to show that..
Finding this character creator to be useless if I cant add in Hex to my Warlock without shelling out more dough. 1 PHB is good enough for a group. To use this character creator it seems all players need to buy it and in this limited digital format even to make basic very generic characters. Seems like a money grab if it is not a bug.

Not necessarily. The Master Tier has been made to allow sharing of purchased content. It is enough 1 PHB purchase and 1 Master Tier for 12 players + DM to see and use the PHB.

This is still an issue that I'd love to see fixed. Or if it's meant to be solved by Custom Attack, then at least a notice about it somewhere.

When you created your Warlock, did you have the option to pick any patron other than The Fiend? There are no other choices in the drop list for me.
