Depending on how you like to track things, if you are the DM, you may want to make feats for the piety levels as well, to show what benefits they grant. Once you have made a few, might as well make them all. Once you have made one of the god's piety feats, making the others is 5x the work, not 15x.
My complaint is that DND Beyond could have done it this way as well. Then once they have a permanent solution in place, they can hide the previous feats so that only characters built with them would have them (like the old UA options).
Except since DnD beyond is a separate entity from WOtC we don't know how much prior access the Devs got (along with all the other things they are working on) to MOoT to properly implement the new stuff for character sheets.
Also agreed Frost you are over reacting because the are not breaking their promise since they are currently building it. If you chose not to read their post from when MOoT came out that is on you as a consumer. But DnD beyond at its core for right now is an online bookstore, the character sheets is a development that they are still fine tuning, its quite clear that this is not simply a character building website.

They usually get less than 60 days notice, sometimes as little as 2 weeks.
Wizards needs to change their design process slightly. Specifically, they need to make sure the people at Beyond are kept completely "in the loop" about new mechanics in upcoming titles, so that the Beyond team can get the needed head start on re-shaping character sheets, etc, to accomodate them. Piety and Supernatural Gifts are a truly colossal example of this.

If they did this they would be showing one company favoritism. Fantasy Grounds and Roll20 would also need to be in the loop as well as all VTT who obtain licenses. Also generally the more people who knows things outside a company, the easier it is for things to get leaked.
Reminder the Beyond is not owned by WoTC, beyond buys the rights to sell their products

No, Wizards would not "have to" do anything vis a vis Fantasy Grounds, Roll20, or any other VTT.
Beyond is the official digital toolset for D&D. None of those VTTs enjoy that status - because none of them have bought that status. Beyond has.
And it looks just as bad for Wizards as it does for Beyond when the officially licensed character creation toolset is unable to, you know, create characters using the most recent sourcebook.
Besides which ... even if it was just pure favoritism, so what? This isn't kindergarten. There's not going to be some adult swooping in and sitting anyone in the corner "until they learn to share and play nice".

A No, Dnd beyond even says it on their site the are AN official not THE official, that makes a huge difference.
Dnd Beyond is not a part of WoTC so they get no special perks like knowing the plans ahead of time or anything else, They are a separate company and are on equal footing to all VTT. You know what being an officially license character creator means btw? It means they pay to have the right to distribute. It's like your local gaming store saying they are an official WoTC store. It simply means they have the right to sell WoTC products not that they get a leg up over other stores. Because guess what? Roll20 is also an official VTT as is Foundry. How do we know? They are able to have the WoTC brand books for sale; as in the are an official character creator because their good are legit.
And I guess you don't really understand how businesses work. Roll20 and other VVT pay WoTC a license to use and sell the content for their website. Guess what those companies do when favoritism is shown by the distributor? They pull out. Now WoTC has lost large sources of revenue. In your analogy that right there is the big adult coming into the room. Should check in on best business practices before you spout what a company should be doing. Because what you want them to do will hurt them in the long run.
I have the top tier Beyond subscription that enabled the Mystic Odyssey of Theros content. I've enabled content sharing, but the only races that show up for character creation are the Ravnica ones... What am I missing?
Ravnica is a book purchase. It might be under your (expensive?) Legendary Bundle that bought all the current books at once and also allows a decent discount to future books.
If you are however referring to the Master Tier subscription, that allows you to share your already purchased literature and options with your players and friends in up to three groups.
Ravnica can be purchased alone, in a bundle, or someone can share it with you. If you go to the marketplace and it says "You own everything," you have purchased the legendary bundle. If you bought a different bundle of books, your experience may vary.
If you truly think there is an error, you could take it up with support. Good luck. But why would you want Ravnica? hahaha. :)

Go to your Campaign.
To the top of it, above the characters (if any), is a blue button labelled "Content Management". Click this, and you will be taken to a page where you can turn individual books on and off.

That only turns compendium access on and off so players can’t get spoilers by reading the books. All of the options would still be accessible for character creation.

Subscriptions do not unlock content. If you want the MOoT content, either you, or someone else in the campaign with content sharing enabled has to have purchased the book form this website.
Update to anyone who might be curious: my issue has been resolved, and I have the MOoT bonus content now. :)
Pax,
I went back and read through your posts. So you bought the Legendary Bundle but did not get the character sheet extras for MOOT. Then you opened a ticket and they granted them to you? Is that correct?
The add is still up and says you get the 6 sheet backdrops, 20 portrait frames, and 5 color themes with book purchase. I got a legendary bundle last week witch included MOOT but I don't see any of these items either. Should I have got them?

Thanks. I have just done so. I got mine via legendary bundle last week so I assume between the ad being still active and unlocking the book via the bundle I should have qualified. I could have purchased the book separate if there was any indication that I needed to do that but I don't see any info like that. I even had the discount code from my flgs for my preorder of the physical book but I gave that code away to a friend since I didn't need it anymore. Hope that wasn't a mistake.

I only got the Sourcebook Bundle, not the full-on Legendary Bundle.
But yes, I opened a ticket and (eventually - it took around ten days) I did indeed get those extras.

Oh, I do agree: Beyond should have had Theros-ready sheets set up and waiting for people to use, before MOoT went live.
There should be a notice on the product, at the point of sale, that not everything is active. Period.
I have a high art. I wound with cruelty those that wound me.

If you bought them during the appropriate time period, you should have gotten the appropriate perks.
Ya. I got it a week ago.
