Warcaster is not a selectable feat for a (level 6) Cleric. When going to character's sheet -> manage feats, it tells me under 'Unavailable feats' that I'm missing: "Cleric Spellcasting (Level 1) or Cleric Spellcasting (Level 1)". Which of course doesn't make sense being a 6th level Cleric, so I assume this is bug. That will hopefully be fixed soon, pretty please! :)
It looks like a (large) handful of prerequisites on various things (some feats and eldritch invocations) somehow got set to the legacy version of the prerequisite and/or a phantom instance of the modern version, likely due to some unintended object ID refreshes in the back end when doing the deployment to production today.
If you add a 2024 background to a character, save, then edit the background to a 2014 or Custom background, it does not remove the origin feat from the 2024 background on the character sheet, and there's no way to manually remove it. If you then select a different 2024 background, it does successfully overwrite the origin feat, but if you then try to go back to a 2014 or Custom background, you still have the latest origin feat on the character sheet. It's like once an origin feat has been added from a background, there's no way to remove it other than overwriting it with a different 2024 background's origin feat.
As a Magic Action, you can expend 1 Focus Point to touch a creature and restore scalevalue - No level scale data available+3. When using Flurry of Blows, you can substitute one of the Unarmed Strikes with a use of this feature without expending a Focus Point for the healing.

Hello I am a master tier subscriber, after seeing the update today I decided to recreate some old characters with the new rule set, I will update this post as I find bugs. I fully understand the update is just hours old and I expect that your team will be working diligently to address issues known and brought to your attention before everyone has access.
Bugs I have Found so far:
Fighter creation:
Does not give options for 3rd party subclasses such as echo Knight
only 1 attack per action after level 5
only 1 attack per action after level 11
Feats:
new ritual caster is bugged, I can select spells however they do not show up anywhere on the character sheet for use. In addition when selecting which stat to buff, the spell caster classes are listed as options.
Bug: Attacks per Action on actions tab shows only 1 despite being level 5+ and features showing extra attack.
Scrolling through the previous 8 pages, this is a very poor offering from D&D Beyond. We pay good money (which is all they want from us) and get half built systems in return. They've had 2+ years of playtest on the new features but they can't even get the basics right, including stuff that hasn't changed.
The spell Enthrall says it takes concentration if you search the spell in a character sheet (which I believe to be correct). But if you check the 2024 free rules it doesn't mention this.
Maybe a two week early access wasn't a great idea since a lot of what we'd need isn't....you know....supported?
Also an actual bug, my legacy spells aren't showing up in the character builder, just the new ones, despite that having been walked back a week or two ago.

I've seen the legacy spells in my character sheets. But they're also 5.0 characters.
Are you using a 5.5 class or a 5.0 one? Since I believe it's intended functionality for a 5.5 character to not see 5.0 spells that have been redone in 5.5
I am using a Legacy Race and a 2024 Background and it lets me double up on ability score bonuses (chooses them both in the Background and the Abilities dialog)
This seems to be because I had the Optional Rules ticked in Settings. Once I removed them, it no longer let me "double dip".
About the spells you get from the Fiendish Legacy when you pick Tiefling
I chose Infernal and got the fire bolt cantrip, but it doesn’t use Charisma for the attack bonus calculation , even though I chose Charisma
I tried Int and Wis and somehow they did worked good and the calculated spell attack bonus was correct, so maybe the bug is only when you choose Charisma
The bug is also on the calculation of the save dc for the Hellish Rebuke
Making a 5.5, they walked back not having access I believe. That doesn’t seem to be the case though, I essentially have no reason to update my character to the new rules if half my invocations are removed or unsupported (even my fighter subclass is unsupported)
Many of the feats and eldritch invocations are not showing up when they are supposed to as options when prerequisites are met. For example, moderately armored doesn't show up at all for Warlock and things like Devouring Blade and Gift of the Protectors does not show up as options to choose from, even if the requisite invocations are selected in the character sheet.

The bonus spells for warlock subclasses (at least for celestial) are showing as "at will" spells rather than using up spell slots.
Edit: Also, when you cast them, they cast at lowest level rather than the level of the warlock slot.

Level 4 Feat: I picked an optional that lets me add +1 to an ability score, but shows 2 drop down ability score options instead of just one.

For feats 2024 war caster isnt showing on the feat selection, only the 2014
Are you seeing that the "Extra Attack" isnt listing under the Attacks per Action. My Monk is level 6 and its only showing 1 attack per action
A couple of issues on the character sheet itself.
On the Actions tab, Unarmed Strike is only showing the 2024 rules (i.e. including Grapple & Shove), there is no legacy rule listed.
The Grapple and Shove tooltips under "Actions In Combat" also only show the 2024 rules, no legacy text.

This is a signature. It was a simple signature. But it has been upgraded.

Sorcerous Burst does not show as an attack.
I updated my app and now I can’t even open several of my older books.
This is really frustrating.

The new Druid still bases the number of prepared spells on your wisdom modifier rather than the table in the new PHB.
