Buss types not appearing in Buss Format window

DaVinci Resolve Studio 17.0b7
MacOS 10.15.7

GIVEN I create a new timeline in a project
AND I go to the Fairlight page
WHEN I look at the buss layouts there is the following layout:
A1: Audio 1 2.0
B1 Bus 1 2.0
AND there is no "Main" buss
WHEN I open the Buss Format dialogue (See attachment "No buss types available")
THEN there are no buttons across the top to create different types of busses

On other timelines I've previous created I have the following behaviour:

GIVEN I open an existing timeline from an old project
AND I go to the Fairlight page
WHEN I look at the buss layouts there is the following layout:
A1: Audio 1 2.0
M1 Main 1 2.0
WHEN I open the Buss Format dialogue (See attachment "Buss types available")
THEN there are buttons across the top to create different types of busses

Any advice please.

In version 17, by default new Projects use Flexi Bus mode and Busses are named Bus 1, Bus 2, etc.

Fixed Bus Projects behave like Resolve 16 and prior versions and will feature Main Busses, Sub Busses, and Auxes.

Prior to creating a new Timeline in a new Project, the following preference may be enabled:
Project Preferences > Fairlight > Audio Busing Mode > Use Fixed Bus Mapping

More details in the DaVinci Resolve New Features Guide installed within Resolve 17's application folder or accessible via Resolve's Help menu. Refer to Page 226 | Chapter 9 | Fairlight Page Improvements

Many thanks Reynaud.
