When taking this ASI (also new to DnD, here) do you increase ability scores based on what is determined by your class, race, or do you just get to choose two ability scores to increase? When building a character, I see various races increasing ability scores by +1 and classes also increasing ability scores by +1 or +2. Are these numbers only used when initially building a character, or are they the numbers used when one reaches Level 4 and is allowed an ability score increase?

First off, this thread was asking how to add a homebrew bonus. Normal bonuses will either be automatic or have a prompt in the builder.
Classes don't increase any abilities except with level 4, 8, etc ASIs, and you get to choose what to increase or take a feat.
Racial ASIs (the +2 and +1 usually) apply at level 1 and only get applied once.
