My players were already struggling with using D&D Beyond and now this happens. The Legacy toggle is great but let's also offer a toggle to turn off 2024 content for those of us in the middle of a campaign using only 2014 content. Please!
+1 to this thread, it drives me absolutely insane trying to read up my spells and having to slog through the 2024 BS I never asked for or wanted in the first place. It feels like they're specifically trying to annoy us enough that we give in and spend even more money on books and swap to the new stuff. This site was far far better before it was sold to WotC.
Where did my Cantrips/Spells go??? Yesterday I had a cleric that had Toll the Dead and today when I went in to create a new Cleric, that wonderful cantrip is gone! I can't even tell you how frustrated I am and I've barely started delving into the new changes.
I've been paying every month for 6 years..... guess we'll see how much longer that happens
I have a slightly different but related problem that I can't see any solution or mention of anywhere. I've made a 2024 wizard, but don't have access to any legacy spells even if I have legacy content turned on for the character. Clearly they wouldn't want you to mix and match in that way, but I don't want them dictating what I can and can't do in my own campaign. Anybody seen any solution or reason for that to occur?

Plain and simple, the 2024 classes can only access the 2024 spells (of those that were updated, not including those in other books that didn't get into the PHB).
Only solution is to homebrew the old spells and add the new versions of the classes.
Multiple subclasses no longer function properly with the 2024 PHB. Oath of Glory's Inspiring Smite Channel Divinity, for example, is functionally unusable by the new rules for Divine Smite.
I don't care if you are all exited about your new 2024 content, heck, I have purchased it. But I have also, at considerable expense paid for the 2014 content on this site. And my current, [and potential future] campaigns are and will be using it.
As I have paid for it I want to continue using it.
If you don't let me, I will be demanding my money back with added lawers.

They updated oath of glory. You can use old glory with old paladin, or new glory with new paladin, and it's fine.
(Also, it works fine if you read the trigger as now being "cast divine smite".)
Aside from Shepherd Druid, I'm unaware of any subclasses that actually don't work.

Add a toggle. It is that simple.
All of your 2014 options are still present. That's what the big fight was about. The builder now has a Legacy toggle that allows you to use the content in full. All that's been "taken" is the tooltips. While inconvenient, that's rules info, not builder-necessary to get a character right.
