Currently having a problem with my players(and myself) when trying to add the Witherbloom initiate feat. When we try to go too manage feats, and add the Witherbloom initiate that they want and the spells, it ends up giving them an error until we remove the feat from the character creator.
Does the campaign have Content Sharing? If not, there's a current issue where a campaign DM will see the spells/feats they own (but don't have shared with the player) when editing a player's character sheet, and attempting to add the feat/spell causes an error.
If it does have content sharing, you might need to turn it off and back on again to help ensure it's working properly.

--[ Natural 20 - that's how I roll! ]-- We've stopped this OGL madness, but stay vigilant, they tried it once, they can try it again.
This character is a level 3 Divine Soul Sorcerer / level 17 Dao Genie Warlock Mountain Dwarf using Tasha's rules to modify race, class, and background: https://www.dndbeyond.com/characters/50305267
Note that the background is custom Witherbloom Student from Strixhaven.
The following bugs are present:
I should be able to select Wish as the character's L9 Mystic Arcanum, but I can't.
The character is listed as having 120 foot darkvision, which is incorrect. Mountain Dwarves have 60 foot darkvision.
Likely related to the bug above, the character's 120 foot Devil's Sight is missing from their Senses block.
Recapping correct senses: Darkvision 60 + Devil's Sight 120 means the character can see perfectly well in full color out to 60 feet in any lighting conditions. From 60 to 120 feet they can see perfectly well in color in darkness, but dim light gives them disadvantage to see in that band. As a result, summing them up as having 120 foot darkvision is incorrect within both bands.
The Witherbloom Student background feature was selected, resulting in the following bugs:
The part of the feature that adds spells to my spell lists is not listed as part of the feature.
The part of the feature that adds spells to my spell lists is not being honored; for example, I can't select Greater Restoration as a Warlock spell.
The part of the feature that gives me the Strixhaven Initiate feat is listed but not honored: the feat does not appear in my feat list in the finalized version, and in the builder, the feat doesn't show up in my background, so I can't customize it.
When I try to work around the background bug by going into manage feats to manually add the feat, Strixhaven Initiate is not in the list, presumably because the handler thinks the character already has it.

This sounds like it's behaving correctly; if you have multiple sources of darkvision, the sheet doesn't list them all, it only lists the one with the greatest range. You can refer to the specific features under Features & Traits if you ever need to lookup which ranges provide colour or not. Basically darkvision is the only special sense here, the ability to see in colour is incidental, and there is no way in D&D to specify your colour vision range (it's just a described effect in whatever feature(s) provide you with darkvision).
This wouldn't be a Tasha's Cauldron issue though as it applies to Devil's Sight no matter how you obtain it.

You currently need to add the correct feat under Features & Traits -> Feats -> Manage Feats, as there is currently no way for a background to automatically add a feat to the character sheet (or provide the necessary options for spells etc.).
Hopefully D&D Beyond will find some way to make this work correctly in future, because we've seen UA for another upcoming setting that is going to have campaign specific background with free feats.

Ah, thank you. Do you have a handle on the intended workaround for Wish?
EDIT: Workaround doesn't work due to what I assume is a novel bug, so I'll update the OP accordingly.

I'm having issues with adding my college's 'free' spell to my spell list from the list of spells we get to add from Silverquill. I've got my two cantrips and my first level spell Shield of Faith, but I wasn't able to add Silvery Barbs through the sheet as it was. My workaround for the moment was to add the Magic Initiate feat, but I'd rather not have this permanently as I did take that feat already in order to get access to Find Familiar.

No, you only get one 1st-level spell from each of those feats, not two.
You gain the Strixhaven Initiate feat and must choose Silverquill within it.
In addition, if you have the Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature, the spells on the Silverquill Spells table are added to the spell list of your spellcasting class. (If you are a multiclass character with multiple spell lists, these spells are added to all of them.)

I was answering you in the other thread, but did you take the Silverquill Student background? And just in case you don't know how it works, the Silverquill background spells are added to the list of spells you can choose from for your class via Manage Spells - they aren't automatically added to the spells you can cast.

Hi. Small issue here. I have a character with the Strixhaven Initiate (Prismari - Charisma) feat, which allows me to "choose one 1st level Bard or Sorcerer spell." In the character sheet, when I use "Manage Feats" to choose my 1st level spell, *most* of the standard (PHB) 1st level Sorcerer spells are there, but Grease is missing.
(Distort Value is also missing, but that's from Acquisitions, Inc., so maybe that's why. Grease is PHB, though.)

Grease is not available to Bards or Sorcerers. only wizards and artificers.
Ah! That explains it. I was looking at a Bard spell list on some other website, and I guess it had an error. That'll teach me to use any source other than DnDBeyond.

Hello,
I'm unable to add Vortex Warp to my artificer (level 11, all content on).
Is there a fix for this?

Despite having SCoC on DBB, I can't add Silvery Barbs to my Eldritch Knight.
You have to have “M:tG content” enabled for that character. Strixhaven is a Magic setting.

Right, but in the background it says:
Feature: Silverquill Initiate[–]
You gain the Strixhaven Initiate feat and must choose Silverquill within it.
In addition, if you have the Spellcasting or Pact Magic feature, the spells on the Silverquill Spells table are added to the spell list of your spellcasting class. (If you are a multiclass character with multiple spell lists, these spells are added to all of them.)
Actually I don't have Dissonant Whispers either

You don’t automatically learn those spells, they just get added to the list of spells you can learn if you choose to.
