I made a race, shared it, made a new version, adding a variant, then made a new version editing the base race. The variant was still attached to the older version, and the newest version had no variant.

At least for me, the new version doesn't save any subraces or variants from the old version. Only option I know is to remake the variant.

 oof. Better be careful creating new versions

Yeah, I made a gnoll race and didn't notice a tiny spelling error. It had two subraces and I didn't want to recreate them both, so I had to just leave it in there.

Spells and Races are the worst.

Similar situation here; a variant for one of my monsters overrode the original, despite being template-copy rather than a new version...

All reasons why I tell people not to publish anything that hasn’t been fully playtested and edited if they can at all avoid it.
