The button to add a weapon property doesn't work right; I can select Weapon Property from the Modifier Type dropdown menu, but there's nothing to select under Modifier Subtype.

For example, if I wanted to make a homebrew short sword with the Heavy property, how would I go about doing that? Or if I wanted to make a glaive with Finesse?
What you're after is adding a MODIFIER with a MODIFIER TYPE of WEAPON PROPERTY, then add a MODIFIER SUBTYPE with Heavy/Finesse etc.
In the DMG they give the example of a Longsword with the Finesse property but I can't seem to find a way to add the Finesse property to weapon types that aren't already Finesse weapons. Is there any way to do this? I searched and this thread response says to select Weapon Property under modifier type but that option does not exist.
this is a known issue and will be resolved - apologies for the amount of time it is taking. Staff are hard at work on the character builder/sheet update.
Not that I've heard; my guess is that Stormknight could see the options because he's a moderator. I ran into a different issue with homebrew races where moderators could see options that I couldn't. That was ruled a bug and fixed. Not sure why this hasn't been.
I'm also experiencing this issue - when adding a modifier to a homebrew feat, I can select Weapon Property as the Modifier Type, but there are no available options for the mandatory Modifier Subtype menu. ("No matches found")
I see the same thing when I select Kensei as the Modifier Type, but that should be because I haven't purchased Xanathar's Guide to Everything. Is it possible weapon properties are locked to the purchase of the PHB?
I can't see Modifier Subtypes for Monk Weapon either, but tbh I'm not sure what those would be and whether I should be seeing anything there or not. And there's also no subtypes for Spell Slot Increase (I assume the subtypes would be the level of the slot?).
Perhaps this hasn't been addressed because it's in General Discussion instead of Bugs & Support?
I feel like I'm missing something but where how can you had the Finesse property to a Spear? Don't see it in the customize dropdown when you're looking at the weapon and there doesn't appear to be a way to homebrew normal weapons.

D&D Beyond FoundersIt's a known issue that is on the list to be resolved.
Once it's implemented, everyone will be able to create their light, versatile, 2-handed, finesse weapons. :)

There is still missing subtypes for:
Weapon Property
Spell Slot Increase
Feat
Are you changing that soon?
the modifier type "Weapon Property" does not show in my list of available modifier types...
In the DMG they give the example of a Longsword with the Finesse property but I can't seem to find a way to add the Finesse property to weapon types that aren't already Finesse weapons.

Just did this to a Spear. Added finess , but still doesn't work.
Weapon properties -> Finesse
Does it need some other defaults? Primary value or a restriction?
Jumping in on this. Can add weapon properties, but they don't properly display, nor do they operate properly within the character sheet.
This feature currently seems broken.
The item does not update with the added properties on the char sheet.
Edit: Apparently the new weapon properties do not populate until you add the item into the chars inventory. Disregard.
