I am pretty new to the homebrew section of D&D Beyond. But I ran into a problem where I won't be able to access the 'add starting equipment' site, with a custom created background. So far I didn't try to check if the problem persists if I remove or change certain items from the list. But it would be great to hear some experiences, ideas and workarounds for that problem.
Problem Description:
The background adds four different items one with a choice as displayed here in this picture:
While this worked fine, even tho the workflow of the UI on the equipment page for the background is a bit confusing. But then, when I add the background to a character, go to the equipment page in the 'edit character' modus and select equipment in the 'Starting Equipment' section I get an errorpage with the errorcode: 1e3f3c3217de4eff898716c5923d59d5
Equipment page for reference:
Errorpage:
Just wanted to let you guys know. I am not sure if this is a known bug or if there is some workaround other than "don't use starting equipment in a homebrew background".
Yeah I noticed, actually I wanted to copy an already existing homebrew background as I didn't have a subscription. Got it working by buing the subscription x) But in general, it shouln't be that hard to add starting equipment to your background, especially it should just tell you what you did wrong and not just throw an error.
Hope the devs know about that issue, not that its super important, but would be nice to see an improvement on that feature. Thanks for the help tho!

Starting equipment is unintuitive to do. I suggest making copy of a background and doing equipment the way that does.
Post a link to your background if you are still having trouble.

The homebrew tools weren't originally designed for the users. It is the same tools the devs use.
They plan to make brand new homebrew tools at some point that are much more user friendly, but that will be a time consuming project.
