Comment form shows wrong fields

Problem/Motivation

For some reason a site I'm building doesn't show the comment fields correctly on a forum page where it should show up.

Comments are configured to use the "comment_forum" comment type. The data is migrated from a D7 site and is visible on the page.

The comment default form view mode is configured to display the author and body but hide the subject field.

Viewing a node page shows the comment form with the subject line and submit button, but no body field, and no author field when the user has the appropriate permissions.

Steps to reproduce

Install the Comment module on a site, along with the Forum module.
Create a form node (forum topic).
View the node form.

    The problem was when I shoehorned a migrated configuration for the comment system to work with the forum module, that expects the forum comments to use the comment bundle "comment_forum", this setting on the field storage was incorrect:

    settings:
  comment_type: comment

    It needed to be this:

    settings:
  comment_type: comment_forum

    Once I changed that and re-loaded the configuration, everything worked as expected.
