Upgrade from 2.1.9 to 2.2.1

For custom attributes, the labels showing in the admin are not showing the admin label, but rather the 1st store label instead.

Here is the product attribute in the backend

In Magento 2.1.9, when adding a product to site, this is how the attribute displays when adding an item to the store.

And this is how it looks when adding a product in 2.2.1

I’ve tried making a new attribute, but for every new attribute I make, it shows the 1st store field rather than the admin label.

Not sure why this is happening or how to fix it. Once the item is saved, the expected admin labels show up, and if I switch the scope to one of the stores, the that store’s field value displays. But it would be a lot easier if the admin label were the one displayed by default, like it was in 2.1.9
