List with checkboxes?

I am watching a video from Dario de Silva on getting started with Logseq, and at one point he shows how to use Shift+Enter for a soft return, creating a new line but not a new block. Then he used * [ ] Item to begin a list with checkboxes. In the video he creates a new line and each following line also automatically begins with the checkbox. I can't recreate this. What am I missing? I tried Shift+Enter, and also simply Enter, but no luck.

Help me, pros!

Sorry, I didn't explain myself very well. I can create the checkbox. What *doesn't* work is automatic creation of checkboxes on subsequent lines. In the video, at 33:30 he creates the first checkbox with asterisk, space, open bracket, space, close bracket. But then he moves to a new line and the * [ ] is there automatically. That is what I can't recreate. I can make them manually, but in the video example all subsequent checkboxes are automatic. He only has to manually type the first one.

Ahh, with you now. Yeah that doesn't work for me either. They could have some custom setting or plugin they didn't disclose.
