Creating a Variable Subscription using WooCommerce Subscriptions extension

My website: https://www.ilaimh.org/

I am confused on how to make a variable subscriptions using WooCommerce Subscriptions.

When I look at the documentation
Subscriptions Store Manager Guide

Section 1.3 of this page shows an example of creating a Variable Subscription. The important attributes seem to be already there by default, such as: Sign-up Fee, Subscription Price, Free Trial, Sale Price.

However, when I try to create a subscription (Products->Add Product), these four attributes only are there if I select “Simple Subscription” from the “Product Data” menu. If I select “Variable Subscription”, the only attribute that shows up is SKU.

I understand that a Variable Subscription needs some extra attributes manually created for it, but shouldn’t the basic attributes of any subscription, like Sign-up Fee, Subscription Price, Free Trial, and Sale Price, already be there? Or do I have to manually create these basic subscription attributes?

This is very confusing. Thanks for any help.
