I'm sorry if this is already a thread somewhere, the search function won't search for a specific string.

I used the "campaign setting" option in old character builder fairly often.  When I started a campaign, I'd email out a campaign setting file to make sure my players were playing with only the books appropriate to the game we were setting out on. It was also useful when bringing in new players, because I could turn off the dragon magazine stuff, and bring the choices in to a managable level ("Which of the 8 options do you want" is less daunting than "Which of these 15 options do you want"). 

Is there any intention of putting this functionality back into CB?

Right now, there is the "custom" character that has to choose the campaigns before getting to the character building process. It limits choices as you have detailed, but there is no one place to actually get all the choices that you should be able to get. (Themes for Dark Sun can only be used with a Dark Sun character, for example)

I have not heard if there will be a future feature to make a button of your own. (Or if one that includes all core elements of the game and another that excludes the Dragon/Dungeon material)

There isn't the checkmarks that the stand alone client had to choose what is included or what is not either, just the three buttons at the beginning. (Essentials, Custom, Load)
