Hi all,
I recently joined a larger D8 project and I have got a strange problem.
My task is to add comments to a blog-article. I've done this several times on my own projects and it was working without problems.

I added several field to the comment-type, the 'comment'-field to the node-type, adjusted the form_views for node & comment. When I try to add a comment the the only field display is the comment's subject, no other fields appear. It does not matter whether I use the form as guest or as admin. It's the same in backend and frontend.

The side wher it is not working is installed from the 'minimal' profile, my others used the 'standard' profile, are ther any configuration options that could be missing?

Do you have any hints where I can start looking?

what theme are you using?

the theme is made by our themers, based on Zurb Foundation 6

I copied the templates from the comment-module into the themes folder, these templates are used. There are no fields exclude by CSS.

Further more I created an Admin-route to edit a comment, so that the form is displayed in the admin-theme, still the same problem.

I usually remove the subject field btw, no need for that

I will do so as well, as soon as the other field are visible

test on a core theme to determine if the issue is theme related or some other issue in the install (module conflict etc).

Thanks - this idea is good, I should have though about this. I'll keep it in mind for future problems.
Unfortunately it does not solve the problem.
Next I will delete the comments and reinstall the module, maybe I made a stupid error :-(

Reinstalling all the module and recreating the entity did not help, I don't have any ideas anymore.

I found the problem, the field inside the content-entity was configured with a non-existing comment-type.

Delete your existing comment field (don't worry, existing comments will not be deleted),

Pick "Comments: Comment" from Re-use an existing field instead of creating a new one

And your comment form will appear again.
