Newbie question about panel and fields

Kirby 2 Solved ✅
1

I’m building in Kirby for the first time. I am trying to use the project.yml blueprint to learn about columns, sections and fields. I’m currently copy pasting this code from https://getkirby.com/docs/reference/sections/fields#multiple-fields-sections but in my panel it returns an empty screen.

What am I doing wrong here?

The code looks like this:

title: Project

pages: false

columns:

  # main content
  - width: 2/3
    sections:
      content:
        type: fields
        fields:
          headline:
            label: Headline
            type: text
          intro:
            label: Intro
            type: textarea
            size: small
          text:
            label: Text
            type: textarea
            size: large

  # meta information
  - width: 1/3
    sections:
      meta:
        type: fields
        fields:
          date:
            label: Date
            type: date
          author:
            label: Author
            type: users
            multiple: false
          tags:
            label: Tags
            type: tags

The blueprint seems to be alright. I copied it into a fresh starterkit and it works:

Are you sure the page uses this blueprint? Maybe it’s something else that doesn’t work. Any plugins?

Oh how odd.
I’m using a fresh starterkit. Haven’t yet started with plugins yet as I am a fresh newbie myself.
This is what happens at my end, with the code in project.yml

Ah, alright. You’re using a Kirby 2 starterkit with a Kirby 3 blueprint. I don’t know where you found this old version, but please download it again here: https://getkirby.com/try

If you want to use the old Kirby version you can find documentation over here: https://getkirby.com/docs/archive/v2
