As the thread title indicates player character background features are missing from the background Listings.
The entries skip from the skill/equipment blocks to the suggested characteristics tables. All other info appears to be there, including variant options.
The background features are present and correct on character sheets.
My apologies if this has already been raised elsewhere
This is a background listing in the browser app, I'll use acolyte as an example, it's representative: https://imgur.com/6U5WA9B It shows the background feature: shelter of the faithful
In the mobile app this background feature information is missing on all the backgrounds under the listings section. https://imgur.com/wjnt0XS It's just missing.
This still appears to be an issue. While it appears when you look at the individual source books, when you go to the "listings" section and pull up backgrounds it is still missing the specific background features.
It was like this in the old DnD Reader app as well. Is this intentionally being left out for some reason?
I wanted to add, this is still an issue, and it's causing confusion for my players as we look at building characters. Do we have any idea when this will be fixed? They seem to appear in the browser version, but not the app (which is my main first port of call as GM).
Weirdly, the new backgrounds from the Wild Beyond the Witchlight have the background features shown but none of the other backgrounds do. Hopefully this is a sign that the rest of the backgrounds will be updated as well.
Today we released updates to a number of books and the update should fix the issue. If you encounter it again after updating the books, feel free to let me know.
Excellent. I assume the updates will be rolling out all day? The basic rules, PHB, Ghosts of Saltmarsh, and SCAG (which contain the majority of the backgrounds) don't appear to have updated versions yet. There may be others, I just don't have access to every book.
The books that did have updates do indeed show the proper the background features in the listings view. The others still don't show the features.
I noticed that the general features from Van Richten's are also missing. I was trying to build a bard with the Spirit Medium feature but it's not there.

Could you give me an example? Not sure if I understand the problem.
Sure.

Where could we see the list up updates to the books?

Yeah still quite a few with this content missing sadly. I guess there'll be more book updates soon.
Correct. Updates to books with features are pending. We're also working on making updates less burdensome for you. Thank you for your patience.

Any movement on this? At the time, a few books were fixed but the PHB and Sword Coast (along with most other books) have not been updated since.
Yes, the mechanism is built and we are going to be releasing updates to many books very soon.
