Pretty sure devs have just given up on updating Tasha's features
I've been working on documentation on features that don't quite work correctly, or we weren't able to implement with the current tools and we're going to make a big push to get all of this done.
As always, please don't ask for a timeframe, as I am unable to give one, but please know that we haven't forgotten, but also didn't want to just write some spaghetti code to patch in single issues at the time, and then make it harder for the future.
No shade to you specifically, but the fact is I paid full price for something that isn't fully implemented and hasn't even been updated for 8 months now. I was never even told that it wasn't finished. That's not cool. So forgive me if I'm skeptical because considering no timeframe could mean next month or 2024, it's starting to sound more like never.
They still haven’t even fully implemented the PHB and that was published in 2014.
In fact, with few exceptions, I don’t think most of what’s on this list that has been “fully” implemented yet.
I apologize if my question kicked over a hornets nest. I don't frequent the forums very often and was just wondering about something. It wasn't my intention to start a shit snowball, and for that, again, I'm sorry.

You started nothing, it was already rolling downhill when I joined this site.
is there ANY word on when/if DDB is going to fix the issue with swapping Psionic spells on the Aberrant Mind Sorcerer yet? Seriously this is kinda ridiculous.
I came back here to check on this. It's pretty infuriating. I keep making/updating homebrew feats to manage my spells, renaming others to indicate that they're unavailable, and my character sheet is a mess.
The "we don't provide ETAs" alongside having 0 updates in 8 months is aggravating and unacceptable. It's a cop-out, and one whose optics are that nothing is being worked on, even if staff insist otherwise.

You got like 85-90% of what you paid for. So what are you whining about?
Next time you go to the gas pump, leave 10-15% behind...

The books are all there digitally, not one word missing from them. What more than that would one get from the hard covers?
You are trading portability for storage space. Digital character sheets are a value added thing, even if not 100% implemented.
That's not actually correct. If someone is simply buying "compendium content," then yeah, all they're paying for is the words and art. But most people are paying ~50% more for that content to be integrated with D&D Beyond's suite of tools, such as the character sheet. So when that content continues to not be implemented, almost a year after the book releases, they're quite justified in being upset. Do I believe staff when they say they're still working on things? Yeah, absolutely. I don't think anyone's lying. But DDB are selling stuff that doesn't fully work yet, and vague assurances, even if sincere, simply don't go a long way when it comes to things that people have absolutely already paid for but nevertheless cannot use.
DDB also point blank has a communication problem -- there are bugs that they haven't updated the initial posts on this thread to note as being fixed, with the logic that they never added those bugs/known issues to the initial posts in the first place. Adding a bug/non-working feature to the list late in the game, especially to note that it's been fixed, is fine, because it at least shows that you're working on stuff, rather than complete radio silence.
I just bought Summon Beast, and Summon Aberration, but I can't seem to add them through the Spell Manager or Character Editor options. I don't even see them.
Optional Features is enabled for both Class Features and Origin.
My character is level 1 fighter and level 3 wizard. Am I just under level or?

Summon Beast isn't on the Wizard spell list. Summon Aberration is a 4th-level spell, and a level 3 Wizard can only prepare 1st & 2nd level spells.

I think I found a bug with the Eldritch Invocation: 'Book of Ancient Secrets'. I came across this bug with my unassigned character in a campaign (our DM has all the content).
I used the feat Eldritch Adept on a Variant Human and selected Book of Ancient Secrets.
When you select a spell for the third slot (this does not happen with the first two slots). DND Beyond adds another spell slot above the third slot in which you can add another spell.
You can add an additional spells to infinity, as the third spell slot will reset to the '- Choose a Spell -' option

This is intended, as the wording of the invocation allows you to add more ritual spells as you find them:
On your adventures, you can add other ritual spells to your Book of Shadows. When you find such a spell, you can add it to the book if the spell’s level is equal to or less than half your warlock level (rounded up) and if you can spare the time to transcribe the spell. For each level of the spell, the transcription process takes 2 hours and costs 50 gp for the rare inks needed to inscribe it.
I added Fey Touched at Level 4 for the ASI/Feat and selected Dissonant Whispers as the spell choice.
On the Actions tab of the web interface and within the Actions section, there is no "Spell > Dissonant Whispers (1st)" reminder text as does show up on the iOS app. This is inconsistent as on the Actions tab of the web interface and within the Bonus Actions section, we do see "Spell > Misty Step (2nd)" as reminder text.
The actions tab only list spells that make an attack roll, which Dissonant Whispers doesn't. If you click the spell, click customise and check the "display as attack", it will display the spell in the actions tab.
That is a "sort-of" work around but does not explain: a) the inconsistency between the web interface and the iOS app, b) the added attack roll from your work-around is not positioned the same as (what I am calling) the spell reminder text (i.e. below the list of Actions in Combat).

BUG: Bump
I can explain it a little better, I think.
Bonus Actions and Reactions have a spell summary list that appears showing which spells can be cast as a Bonus Action or a Reaction. This is why Misty Step appears, because it is a bonus action. This is also why, for Tieflings, Hellish Rebuke appears on the Reaction tab as an example.
Spells which take an action to cast are not broken out that same way - a pure caster has many spells and listing all of them would make the action tab unusable. Meanwhile, there is the spell tab built to quickly sift through them to find the spell you want. Tagging it as an attack (to move it to the first page) effectively is tagging that spell as a favorite, and saying that you use it often enough to need it.
You'll see that none of the "action" spells have that reminder. And that's because if you go to the spell tab, look at how many there are - at how long you're scrolling. Displaying all of that on the action tab isn't helpful. There are a handful of reaction spells listing these as reactions, if the character has them, is useful against trying to sift the entire spell list. There are a handful of bonus action spells, listing those is also potentially useful. But having reminders for 30 spells - not as useful.
The aberrant mind spell swap issue is the same as the Divine Soul spell swap issue. That issue has been unresolved for 4.5 YEARS, so I wouldn't expect progress anytime soon.
make a homebrew copy of the subclass and change the spells as you like. as has been stated multiple times in this thread, in other threads, and I'm pretty sure it's in the first post of this thread.

Trying to get your physical content on Beyond is like going to Microsoft and saying "I have a physical Playstation disk, give me a digital Xbox version!"
The Eldritch Adept feat lacks the Thief of Five Fates invocation when you have no Warlock levels, even though the invocation has no prerequisites.
In addition, invocations acquired from the feat that grant spells with saving throws show a Save DC of 8 + Proficiency Bonus, meaning that your spellcasting modifier isn't included. Granted, the feat doesn't make it clear which spellcasting modifier should be used (though Charisma would be a reasonable default.)

Thief of Five Fates doesn't list a prereq, but does require you to have Warlock spell slots. Considering that bane can be gained at 1st level, possibly it wasn't considered to need a prereq per the original publication, but for the purposes of this feat, they decided to call it one?

Do you think that a memo was sent out for them to copy and paste? Every dev update has the same disclaimer. Perhaps, instead of "we don't give timelines", the disclaimers should read "these books aren't fully implemented." I wonder how long before the company gets slapped with a class action suit for Failure to Disclose, as they sell a product knowing full well it isn't implemented, and they fail to disclose that fact.
