You have to set “Can Cast Spells” to yes under Basic Information. You will also have to set the Spellcasting Ability of your choice for the subclass.
In addition, you must give them a subclass feature named “Spellcasting” or it won’t work. Everything is tied to that name. You cannot later the number of spell slots not the number of spells known in any way, you can only use the same progression the the Trickster uses.
After you do all of that, you must re-save the entire subclass using the main “SAVE CHANGES” button. It can possibly take up to 20 minutes for those changes to hit the character sheet.
For some reason making a copy of Eldritch Knight or Arcane Trickster doesn't include the Additional Spell List. Here's what you need to have:
Spell Casting Ability: (ability)
Can Cast Spells: Yes
Additional Spell List: (spellcasting class, which is Wizard for Trickster/Knight)
Spell Prepare Type: --
Knows All Spells: --
And of course, a class feature named "Spellcasting".
Edit: Also you may need to wait 15-20 minutes after you edit and Save Changes to the subclass, it can take a while for changes to percolate through the system.
Edit2: d'oh, they deleted their post. Well, this is useful information so I'm not deleting mine :)
I made my own version of the Arcane Trickster rogue subclass, but I can't get the spells list to show up next class features. What am i doing wrong?

Helpful rewriter of Japanese->English translation and delver into software codebases (she/e/they)

Are you referring to adding Spellcasting to a subclass for a class that otherwise wouldn’t have that feature, barbarian, fighter, monk, or rogue? If so then please refer to the Homebrew Subclasses & Species FAQ, question #7 for a link to a walkthrough that will explain everything for you and even includes an image and a code with instructions to embed the Spellcasting table: (https://www.dndbeyond.com/forums/dungeons-dragons-discussion/homebrew-house-rules/131411-a-homebrewers-how-to-faq#HomebrewSubclasses&SpeciesFAQ).
