The Minotaur & Centaur races in Ravnica and Theros settings are functionally identical in terms of features, which is why there isn't a new version of each race created.
Do we need some sort of system that displays the information from all of the different settings for each race? That would be great and is something that I personally want to get done - it's something that has been discussed internally for sure, but we need a way to do that without making things more confusing.
On the 2nd post
A) The weekly Dev Update stream has discussed in some depth the issue we have faced with needing to rebuild the characters framework. It's taken most of our developers and has taken most of the last year. This isn't something that we wanted to do - it's something that is necessary. We have 30 million characters on D&D Beyond now and this was necessary so that the site could keep functioning. We wish that we were able to spend that time developing features, like Supernatural Gifts, Boons & Blessings, Spells of the Mark, an additional Abiolity Score (Piety) system, Class Variants system etc. These are all things that we absolutely want to get done and we are moving onto now.
B) We cannot allow users to publish licensed content. I know that's annoying for these situations, but it's just not something that can be allowed to happen.
We looked at the possibility of creating all of the Supernatural Gifts as feats in our system and the problem was it would still require some form of development work on the systems, so we could identify them as "not feats" for when people select feats for their characters. We need a better system and we want to build a better system. It will happen.
I can only apologise for where we are and tell you that we are committed to doing better.
I think the “we can’t make them feats because we can’t mark them as not feats.” answer has the same issue as not making dunamancy available to more classes and that is that you guys could just trust tables more. If you make supernatural gifts feats then I can just tell my players “hey guys, these are off limits unless I say otherwise.” It sucked to have to go and replicate every dunamancy spell in home brew just to change their class availability. And now with supernatural gifts I can’t even get them without buying a bunch of stuff I don’t need in the compendium content.
I purchased Mythic Odyssey and can view it on D&D Beyond on the website, but it gives the message "User Already has a license for this product through the website" whenever I try to access the content on the D&D Beyond app.
Is there any distance key available for the Theros map? It's impossible to set this up in a VTT without knowing how far any given point is from another point.
I've just checked and we do have this information - I'm going to go grab the source files and update our map images for the main map now - it'll likely take a bit of time to do that and a bit more for caching to catch up, but will be sorted today. 😊
Follow-up to earlier point re: the Centaur, Minotaur, and Triton displaying incorrect lore, because they're the Ravnica and Volos versions respectively (with identical mechanics, so the mechanics are no issue). We've been told this is a feature, not a bug, even though Orc of Exandria and Orc of Eberron have identical mechanics but are separate entries. So presumably this means that if someone goes into Theros, and tries to individually buy the Centaur, say, hoping to get the Theros version of the Centaur, they'll actually get the Ravnica version? Or can you only buy Satyr and Leonin individually from Theros?
I can't test this myself as I have Theros. Perhaps someone who doesn't could check?
I bought the Sourcebook Bundle, which gives Mythic, but when I go to click something on the table of contents, it takes me to the marketplace. I bought this already lol. How do I get the book?

I opened up in another browser and yes, only the Leonin and Satyr races are specific to Theros so those are the only ones you can buy.
TBH I think this is probably fine. The two Orcs are clearly separated because the mechanics are different with Volo's having an intelligence drop. But pretty much every other race is in Wildemount and isn't separated: the reason being that mechanically they are the same, it's just the flavour background that's different.
And this makes sense because the flavour is tied to the campaign guide and really makes no sense if you don't own the guide already. The downside of digital vs physical is that you can't just share the book around your players.
Actually the Orcs of Exandria and Ebberon do have one frustratingly small difference, which is why they have different entries: The Ebberon orcs have the choice of Nature proficiency, and the Exandria ones don't. that's it - that's the only difference.
That explains why I couldn't see a difference. Still, that is literally less important the difference in lore between Ravnica and Theros Centaurs/Minotaurs, because it's an absolutely vast lore gap.

I don't see this as an issue at all.
That's a pity for you, but it is an issue. Calling it the "downside of digital" is utterly ridiculous and demonstrates that you don't understand how Beyond works. You literally can share the book. They have access to it. The issue is that if they select those Theros races, they get the Ravnica descriptions. That is a serious problem, and would be very easy to fix. But yet again the Beyond team, instead of choosing to fix something in an easy way, have chosen to leave it broken.
Re: Orcs you haven't been following the conversation. I'm not talking about Volo's Orcs, I'm talking about Orcs of Exandria and Orcs of Eberron, which do indeed have the same exact mechanics, except apparently one can choose the Nature proficiency as one of their option and the other can't.
The other Exandria races are all standard/PHB races, so they're only up against vague/generic lore, rather than ultra-specific Ravnica lore.
"Unfortunately, whilst we are working hard on adding functionality to the D&D Beyond character sheet, we don't have additional Ability Scores ready yet."
Highly disappointed in this. The one feature I was looking forward to from the book to add to my campaign and it is not ready at launch.
I own the Theros source book, I have enabled the Magic the Gathering content, and I have Master-tier subscription, with content sharing all on for a campaign. My players can't see the race options etc in their Character creator. I checked myself as one of them lives with me. Any ideas?

It only applies to characters they make in that campaign. Is this the problem?

Please check out my homebrew, I would appreciate feedback:
Yeah, when using the link to join the campaign they can't see the other Race options, for context I have The Tortle package too, and they can't see Tortle either. Interestingly if I chose to edit their character, I can see them and even select them, then they see that choice appear, but only that and if they change Race, it disappears!

They couldn't see any of the MOOT stuff, class options, etc. They couldn't even see the PHB stuff. Eg they chose Paladin and only got Devotion. I got them to leave the campaign and rejoin with a fresh character and this time they have it all it seems! Not sure what the bug was, as we tried two days in a row and it didn't work, cleared browser cache etc. But only leaving and rejoining fixed it.

Update folks - Mythic Actions are now fully added to monster stat block, meaning you can add mythic actions to your own homebrew monsters!
Just look at all the data for one of these awesome monsters (image behind the spoiler tag)!

Saytr race is not showing the Magical Resistance race feature:

EDIT:
FIXED thanks!
The college of eloquence subclass is not appearing as an option in the drop down menu for the bard I've created in character builder.
1. I own the digital Theros source book.
2. I have enabled the Magic the Gathering content.
3. I have also checked my account to ensure all purchased sources books are present.
4. Finally, I turned the computer on and off.
The primary MOoT post above says, "Both of the new Subclasses presented in the book are fully featured and functioning as intended!"
Am I missing something? The subclasses should be appearing in character builder right? Any assistance here would be appreciated.
