So I've found creating a Homebrew race from scratch is easily done, if pretty time consuming.
Even Homebrew subclasses from scratch aren't a problem....
...until I tried to make a variant Half-elf.
I'm making a half-breed but with a dwarven ancestor and want to give them the option of swapping out elven trait a with dwarven trait B
When Adding the new feature it even gives me the option of replacing it (Dwarven poison resistance) with Fey Ancestry - It mentions other racial traits I can replace with but this was the example I tested
When in the character build menu - I can see the new trait but I can't swap between Fey Ancestry and Dwarven resistance. Also those other traits I could replace aren't in the character build menu even though I never removed them.

Any thoughts most welcome :)
You cannot make them as “Replacement” traits, but as Options attached to a single trait. Either that or as wholly separate variant races
