Why does my copy of the 'widget-sc-cat-item-v2' not display forms?

The original widget:

I've already looked at a bunch of things like scope access and restricted access privileges, but nothing. Can anyone explain this behavior?

Hi,

Have you tried adding logs and console logs?

What is the URL when you open any catalog? It should contain sys-id of Catalog item.

I added the cursive part:

data.sc_cat_item = $sp.getCatalogItem({
sys_id: data.sys_id + '',
is_ordering: true
});
console.log(data.sys_id);
console.log(data.sc_cat_item);

It puts out this:

The sys_id is correct.

Found the solution. Unlike most widgets in the Employee Center, the Catalog Item widget has to be in the global scope.
