Galaxy Tab A 8.0 / Android 8.1.0 Restricted User setup not allowing downloaded apps to toggle on/off

I am having an issue with a pretty routine task I do when I provision tablets for field employees.

From the admin account, whenever I download apps from the Play store, install them and run them, everything works fine. However, when I create a restricted account for the field employee use, I do not see the app in restrictions toggle list below the account name! This is across multiple apps (ProntoForms, CamScanner, Network Cell Info, others) and it seems to be unique to Android 8.1.0. This is a pretty routine thing I have done across a lot of Android 6 devices, but am wondering, have they now somehow disabled this? Seems unlikely.

Enlighten me as to what I'm doing wrong here, if you would. Thanks!
