Prior to this update, one of the characters in my campaign had Aberrations and Dragons as her favored enemies. Now, I went in to re-select the languages as directed in this thread, but 1) I actually had to re-select the creature type too, not just the language, and 2) Aberrations were not selectable. On the character sheet, the feature description still lists Aberrations as having been selected, but there's nowhere in the character builder for me to interact with it. It seems as though Aberrations is selected as an option somewhere, but it's not anywhere that I can unselect it to use the new and updated feature.
This is odd because Humanoids is missing for me but Aberrations is a visible option. Maybe it’s whatever was the first selected option that is now missing?
I just confirmed that all of the options are there for new characters. I also looked at a second ranger character of mine that had selected Beasts as his first Favored Enemy and it is missing from the list. This would seem to confirm that the selected option prior to the update is now missing after the update.
Yeah, after reading the announcement regarding this update (here), I have a theory. Aberrations was the 1st-level choice for this character, so that's why that's the issue I'm seeing, and if your first choice was humanoids, I bet you're right that it's always whatever the character's 1st-level choice was.
The announcement says that for the first-level option, you won't have to re-select the creature type, only the language. Since Aberrations is still displaying on the character sheet, my theory is that at some level that's true: the creature choice was preserved. The bug, then, is that the character builder is still asking me to select the creature type, rather than just the language.
In addition, the option to pick two types of Humanoids (or Humanoids in general) seems to have vanished for my existing ranger. I suspect it is a case of conversion like SagaTympana above as it seems available for a new character. I haven't checked yet whether Humanoids is selectable at multiple levels (for different humanoids) as it should be.
I am having the same issue, my 1st level choice was Undead and it still shows on the character sheet, but on the character builder I'm prompted to select the 1st level enemy again but undead is not on the list
I've signed out and back into D&D Beyond and everything I mentioned in the OP remains an issue. I'm being asked to re-select the 1st-level creature choice (not the language), despite the character sheet already knowing that "Aberrations" was selected.
I'm having exactly the same issue with my two Ranger characters.
One is a level 8 Ranger who took Beasts at level 1 and Monstrosities at level 6, I can select Monstrosities but Beasts is not visible on the either drop down list. The other has 5 levels of Ranger before multiclassing and took Humanoids: this option is no longer available for selection by this character.
Additionally, selecting Humanoids at level 1 on the level 8 character prevents me from selecting it again at higher levels. Humanoids should always be available as an option because there are so many subtypes.
The choice was selected at first level before the update, and the first level selector doesn't have it. The character is a 4th level ranger, so he should only have one choice.

I'm having this problem too, I had humanoids selected for my level 12 ranger but it wouldn't let me chose the language as per the patch notes. I then refreshed, logged out and back in, and humanoids is still not showing for me. I tried changing the level one choice and repeated the refresh and logging out and back in but humanoids has still not shown up as an option for me to select.
Interestingly, I just checked what is displaying on the character sheet and it is still showing humanoid as well as the one I changed my level one option to in the attempt to get it to show in the character builder. So it is now showing three options where there should only be two.
This seems to be the exact same problem ASI's are having on copied characters. The feature is there - and chosen - but it's just displaying as if it isn't.
I tried this on one of my Rangers - they had selected Dragons which can't be selected now. I changed it to Beasts to see if it made any difference - and Dragons still not selectable.
Edit: Changing to beasts seems to have kept Dragons in the features list (so both are there now). So maybe it's not like copied characters and ASI's because they change properly.
Guessing the original options weren't cleared before the rollout of hte new methodology happened. My players Ranger from the campaign I run has to pick an option but the option they had picked isn't available but on the character sheet it shows that they have that option selected along with saying there has been no selection and they also lost their language options.
I'm getting the same thing with my Druid/Ranger - I did have Undead selected at Level 1, but now that isn't available (although it does still show on my character sheet). However, as I can't select Undead, I can't select the language that's associated with it.
I logged out and in again (this didn't change anything), and I also tried changing my Favoured Enemy to Oozes just to see if Unead reappeared, but it didn't. I did have Oozes on my character sheet as well as Undead though! Bargain. I've reset it back for now.
Issue with a character in a campaign I happen to run. Had Elementals as their 1st level choice, and Fiends as their 6th level choice.
The repick with Fiends does work, however it does seem that Elementals is unable to be selected, with similar view issues as seen in other posts. Relogging does not appear to have fixed the issue.
I'm having the same issue on all previously existing Rangers. It seems that whatever the 1st level choice was before the update is lingering on the character sheet, regardless of what you do or do not select in the character builder, and that choice is then missing from the pull-down at 1st and 6th level in the character builder.
I've cleared the cache and logged back into DDB and it's still happening. I'm going to try creating a Ranger from scratch and also copying an existing Ranger to see what happens.

My character previously had monstrosities selected for level one, but now monstrosities are not selectable.

InsiderHi everyone! Can you please doublecheck that the favorite enemy you are missing isn't already selected at an earlier level?
Please also log out and back into D&D Beyond to try and refresh from the update.
If you are still having issues please include a link to the relevant character sheet so we can dig in! Thank you!

When you select a new option for a bugged Favored Enemy, it keeps the original selection and adds the new one as well. You can see an example here.

I previously had elementals as favored enemy and now it does not appear as an option. I logged out and back in, no fix.

It would also seem to be blocking selecting Humanoids more than once, as there are plenty of Humanoid types to repeat.
