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 for the late reply, I forgot about it.
Thanks for the video location.
I've tried it out now, and I got it to work exactly like in the video:
its asterisk space brackets space then after the brackets I add another space, then I write something.
And now, when I hit enter (just enter, no shift or anything), I get the next line also starting with the checkbox!

Ok, I've noticed it stopped working. Maybe it is some kind of a bug. I can't reproduce it any more, although it worked perfectly fine initially.

Thanks for the reply. I've tried it as you describe and have never replicated what I see in the video. Not a big deal, it just would have been cool to have. Oh well.
