CPT not showing comment form?

Hi all,
I'm been working on my first Generatepress website, where I want to do more then just the basics. Right now I'm working on a CPT, but somehow it doesn't show the comment form on the posts itself.
Where do I find the code in Generatepress themefiles that is putting the form there? I've worked with many themes and usually it was easy to find and place/replace/remove. But with Generatepress I have the feeling everything is all over the place.
Would love to hear from you!
Hi there,
simply put there are two main parts of creating a CPT.
First is the registration of the CPT. Part of which includes the post_type_supports function - which includes comments - see here:

The second part is the templates - which is what the Theme is responsible for. If building a CPT from scratch and you want to use GP functionality then you should create your templates from the theme templates - see here:
