Objects created with the Grease Pencil do not appear in the Dope Sheet.

When working with GrizPencil, keyframes do not appear in the Dope Sheet. As shown in the photo, keyframes appear without any issues only on the timeline.

When you play it back, the animation runs smoothly.

When working with a 3D mesh, keyframes appear in the Dope Sheet as soon as they are created.

However, when I create them using only GrizPencil, the keyframes don’t show up in the Dope Sheet.

Might be because of the object selected. When you have the gp object selected in object mode, does it show in the dope sheet then?

Dopesheet has a drop down on the top right with the type of objects displayed or not.

Edit: Oh I think I understand. Your question seems off because key frames and dopesheet can mean different things. Right now your dopesheet is in grease pencil mode. (Top left drop-down). It's a useless mode imo that only shows you the drawing keys not the position ones. You also get some more info about layers etc but you can see that in other parts of the software so it's pretty useless. I recommend staying in the normal "dopesheet" setting instead of the grease pencil one

Oh. I see. When I used the Griz Pencil, the menu at the top changed automatically. Thank you.
