I did some more searching, turns out that in the config file, the following line is missing for the ltm virtual server:

Turning off strict-updates quickly makes a mess of things. This article may help you to understand the consequences: https://devcentral.f5.com/s/articles/understanding-iapps-18224. That said, if you are sophistocated enough to do that kind of work, then you can add the app-service tag to almost any LTM object to include it in the component view. As noted in the article, mark & sweep will delete that object if you re-run the iApp, so be aware of what you are doing.
