Cannot create automation

Configuration
1

Hi all,
I recently installed HA and updated to version 3.3 today.
I don’t know why but I cannot create automations.
When I create one I can use all functions but when I press save and go back to the automations list it is empty.
Does anyone know how to fix this?

After saving, scroll up and make sure it actually saved. If there is any error, it will not save. If an error exists, it is shown at the top of the page.

When I press save, nothing appears on top.

Do you have this in your configuration.yaml:

automation: !include automations.yaml

And a file called automations.yaml in the cconfig directory?

Yes I have. There are automations in the automations.yaml but I cannot see them from the UI.

Restart Home Assistant and then check for error or warning messages in Configuration > Logs.

I solved it.
It turns out i had placed the automation: !include automations.yaml in the wrong place in the configuration.yaml. I placed it under sensor: and that doesn’t work.

Where was the wrong place?

I accidentally placed it under sensor:

By default it is located in the correct place, so how does one accidentally put it somewhere else? What else were you changing when this happened?
