It shows up for me after putting it into my "user fixture folder" (in Linux, ~/.qlcplus/fixtures/), but it shows under "robe", not "Robe" in the fixture tree. That's because the tree organisation is derived from the manufacturer name which is "robe" in your definition...
Also it seems you created a filename for the definition file manually yourself? If you just fill in all the metadata for a new fixture definition and simply save the file, it auto-generates a name from that info, which would read "robe-LED-Wash-300.qxf" for this file. Or "Robe-LED-Wash-300.qxf" after fixing the Manufacturer name...
If you want to contribute the definition you've made, you really should be so nice and add to "Physical" tab as much missing data as you can find in the manual, and see if it passes the fixture validator. E.g. physical dimensions are used to show it in 2d monitor, so it makes sense to complete that form as much as possible, even if you can't find all the info like lumen, wattage etc..
