I suspect my issue is just something I overlooked. Tips are appreciated.

Steps to reproduce the issue

Follow the old Hello World tutorial and create a component. Install the component. Create multiple "items" via the admin panel.

Expected result

I see a list of my created items in the admin view.

Actual result

Nothing shows in the admin view list. They have been added to the database table.

System information (as much as possible)

OS Name & Version: MacOS 12.5.1
MySql Version: libmysql - mysqlnd 8.2.23
Apache Version: Apache/2.4.61 (Debian)
PHP Version: 8.2.23
Joomla Version: 5.1.4
JCB Version: Version: 5.0.4-alpha3 (or 5.0.3)
Browser: Firefox

So I discerned that default_body.php in the admin view was not being populated. It just has a line defining $edit. It has no <?php foreach ($this->items as $i => $item): ?> etc. for generating an editing table. Where do I go to enable that?

Solution: It turns out that the Admin Behaviour was set to Default for these fields. I needed to edit that setting by clicking the first icon (looks like a bullet list) when on the Admin Views page. Alternatively you can edit an Admin View item and then click on the big green button that says "Edit admin fields for this admin view".

What doesn't work: clicking the pencil (edit) icon beside the field name. The setting cannot be found there.
