Yeah there's a lot of features they've been releasing that really go for the "multiple uses by proficiency bonus" scheme. Which I consider a plus. I hate the limit of once per day for what are often low-level effects. This why I really like the new trend with touched/lineage/artificer initiate features "one free, use spell slots after that" scheme - a lot better while still being balanced.

An interesting way to look at it, is that even the OG once-daily spell feat, Magic Initiate, does allow casting the feat spell using slots, but only if you belong to the class that you chose for Magic Initiate. (Confirmed by Sage Advice compendium.) Of course, it wouldn't have made sense for the feat to grant the "cast" version of the spell, since most people picking Magic Initiate don't have levels in the chosen class. So you'd just need to tick the appropriate spell slot, as we've been instructed to do for the time being with the Touched feats.
But Fey Touched and Shadow Touched are based on a choice of spellcasting ability, not class, so they allow casting with spell slots. (And apparently DDB used to grant the "cast" version, but people complained that it cluttered up the character sheet...)
Artificer Initiate is the first feat to grant a spell from a specific class spell list and also allow casting it with slots even if you don't have levels in the class.
To be honest, what we really need on the character sheet is a way to "Hide" spells we don't want cluttering up the spell list, but be able to Unhide if need be. And it'd need to work for spells that we currently can't view under Manage Spells.

Any word on how the progress is going on the Aberrant Mind being able to change their spells? It is turning into a real mess as my Sorc is levelling and I switch out a few of those spells. I'm changing the name of the spell but I can't link any of it in roll20 or it would link the wrong spell.
So, what's going on here? Are character sheets dead? Feats and Martial Archetypes failing is a big thing.
You've given a link to the character builder, which nobody other than a mod can view. When I tried to view the sheet itself at https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/Meadbeard2019/characters/51627657 I found it was Private. If you'd like someone other than a mod to take a look (which is likelier to happen sooner), make your character Public.

Given that races can literally grant permanently prepared spells that use spell slots as well as expand your spell list, I'm gonna have to disagree with you there.
The functionality is there, it's just not implemented for feats.

Can you provide an example of this? Because I have not been able to get it to work with spell slots as a racial feature, and no official race has this so I cannot copy and learn.

Hey all, please be aware we are logging all your issues.
Please try to not to repeat issues which have already been listed unless you have new information to contribute. Please try and list as much information, link a character affected by the issue or add a screen shot of your issue to your post.
thank you for your patience!
I do not want to duplicate issues but it looks like the search function for Forums does not work so I have to read through dozens of pages of issues to make sure it has not been posted...
I didn't see that anyone posted this yet: Triton customize origin for their ability scores does not seem to be working. You can select the option, but there are no selection boxes for choosing the alternate attributes.
EDIT: Seems to be fixed!
I am now also encountering this issue with the Triton when selecting Origin Ability Score Increase on the Origin Manager menu. Are there specific steps required by the user to correct this? So far I have tried clearing my cache and history.

It doesn't seem to be specific to the Triton race, I had it happen earlier with both Kalasthar and Yuan-ti Pureblood; in both cases though refreshing the page fixed it for me (the drop-down menus appeared).

The expanded spell list feature is a class feature, not a spell list level feature. As such, the various class spell lists remain unchanged and the spell listings on the site reflect that
The spells that are (re)printed in Tasha's are specifically added to general class spell lists, as show in the chapter on spells. The spells that were originally printed in the PHB are only mentioned in the Optional Class Features section for each class, and as such, are only "allowed" by enabling Optional Class Features and selecting Additional [class] Spells, which a DM may or may not allow. Hence, the PHB spells are not added to the general class spell lists.
Yes, this is irritating af, but DDB is under contract with WotC to implement the rules as written. Plenty of us are hoping that WotC erratas this issue.
But they are made available to specific classes in the PHB. In the Spells section, which has a list of spells for each class that members of that class can choose from.
Books like Xanathar's Guide to Everything specifically expand the class spell lists to include the spells (re)printed in Xanathar's. That's how my Arcane Trickster Rogue (who can add wizard spells to her set of known spells) was able to learn Shadow Blade, a spell that was printed in Xanathar's, and is also included in the Wizard spell list expansion printed in Xanathar's.
Now, Tasha's also has a section with lists of spells and the classes they are granted to. This is how my Trickster got to learn Mind Spike, a spell published in Tasha's. But what about, say, the spell Enhance Ability, which is from the PHB? You won't find that on that list I linked to. It's in the Additional Wizard Spells optional class feature that Tasha's makes available to the Wizard class. Since Enhance Ability does not show up in the expanded "wizard spell list", then as written, a Wizard taking that optional class feature would be allowed to add that spell, but not a Trickster Rogue who isn't actually a Wizard, even though they learn wizard spells.
In short, this is why Tasha's results in spells that Wizards get to use but are not technically on their class list. And you might see why both me & my Trickster Rogue aren't thrilled with this outcome? But anyway, I think I'm done trying to explain the headache-inducing for now.
Just noticed this, but it looks like the Seeking Spell metamagic option added by the Tasha's Cauldron optional feature for sorcerers is missing a snippet on its action, so doesn't provide any details under the actions tab of the character sheet as other metamagics do:
Transmuted Spell appears to be okay (has an action snippet as expected). Should be a quick fix I think?

There is no combination of settings that will allow me to choose the Rune Knight specialization for a fighter at 3rd level.
1) I have access to Tasha's
2) Other things seem bugged in the character sheets currently, like feats don't add bonuses to ability scores
3) Here's a link to a sheet; character appear to be broken currently: https://www.dndbeyond.com/profile/Meadbeard2019/characters/51627657/builder#/class/manage

Same way you add any spell to a race. Just set it to use spell slots. As for expanded spell list, there's an entire (separate) field for that.

Except that this is not true.
The Warlock spell list, filtered for 3rd level spells, has the extra Summon spells from Tasha's
The Bard spell list, filtered for 3rd level spells, does NOT have Mass Healing Word and Slow.
