I was wanting to use the "custom" race. It says I can keep the features of my original race, but there is no way to do that without a LOT of customizing. Are there any shortcuts or is it just a slog?
If you mean customizing your origin like in the rules from Tasha’s Cauldron, then you do that in the character builder and it’s mostly just a few clicks.
If you mean creating a race in the homebrewer, and you want to keep traits from an existing race then use that preexisting race as a template and it will port everything over for you and you just have to change the stuff you want to be different.

Do you mean “Customizing your Origin” or do you mean creating a homebrewed race? I can’t tell from your question.
