None of the Affinity applications currently support interactive PDF items, other than hyperlinks (and anchors).
Which tutorials were you looking at?

I don’t understand German but they seem to be adding the interactive items via Acrobat rather than in the Affinity applications.
Maybe a German speaker can confirm or deny this.

Confirmed. She's creating the PDF without any interactive elements in designer and then switches to Adobe Acrobat Reader (as the title also reveals). Actually, she even said something like "you don't always hit the perfect line when using the text/fill document tool in acrobat in order to fill in text", proving she's not using any predefined fields in the document which can get clicked for filling them.

I don't do a lot of fillable PDF forms but when I do I do them all in Acrobat. I create my document in Indesign, export as PDF. Acrobat will smartly look over the PDF for anything it things is a fillable box. Anything it does not find I add myself and make adjustments for them as needed. If you have Acrobat DC then that is the tool I would use.
