I've searched to see if this has been talked about or addressed, and haven't found it. I'm making a librarian-type wizard, and want to take the Linguist feat twice ('cause books!), but in my copy of the character where I work around with things, I can't seem to take the feat multiple times. Is this a bug or is this meant to be? I'm sure in the PH and in the description on the feat from the website it says "You can take this feat multiple times, but..." There are other feats (like Skilled) that show this same issue - the same character has the Skilled feat, and it doesn't show up on further feat options.
The above issue is when I am in the character editor and am managing the feats from the class page. Looking at it from the character sheet, under the Manage Feats feature, it doesn't list it again, either, therefore not allowing you to add it again.
Side note: I know a lot of coders and computer-savvy people, and I understand if coding that would be horrible. I know of a go around where you just add in things manually, but then the blue exclamation point would irk me so bad, so I'm just asking if you know how to go around this or if this is something that just has never come up.
You have studied languages and codes, gaining the following benefits:
Increase your Intelligence score by 1, to a maximum of 20.
You learn three languages of your choice.
You can ably create written ciphers. Others can't decipher a code you create unless you teach them, they succeed on an Intelligence check (DC equal to your Intelligence score + your proficiency bonus), or they use magic to decipher it.

No, Linguist is not a “you can take this feat multiple time...” feat, and neither is Skilled:
I hope that helps.

Elemental Adept is the only feat in the Player’s Handbook that you can take more than once.
