So I built two different homebrew monsters on dndbeyond, and after finishing them I went to add them to an encounter on the encounter builder. For some reason, only one of them shows up as a selectable option while the other is nowhere to be found. I've checked to make sure they show up in my collections and it shows that it's in there, and I can add other homebrew creatures to the encounter (both ones I've made and ones I've added from other people).
Not sure what's happening or why. Maybe there is an option I missed when making the monster or something but I've done this a bunch and haven't had this issue before. Any ideas?
I really don't want to admit this, but I figured out what the problem was and it has revealed that I'm a bit dumb but I may have found a bug. When creating a homebrew monster, if you happen to forget to put in any option for alignment the system will still allow you to continue with creating and saving the monster. It will show up on your creations and collections list and everything will work like normal EXCEPT for showing up in the encounter builder. Apparently I didn't put in any option for this guy's alignment and the site didn't catch my mistake. Don't know if that's working as intended or not.

Has there been any resolution on this one? Created https://www.dndbeyond.com/monsters/3404819-night-terror-pjd several hours ago, and it does not show up in the search for https://www.dndbeyond.com/encounters/7329f9ab-f978-4a7e-9f16-1567e75d9456/edit
The homebrew monster is in my private collection, but it is not published to the community.
Is there a flag that needs to be set on the homebrew monster for it to show up?
Thanks for your help on this.
