I’m unsure why the whole rest and half rest symbols turn out to look like a black box (two red circled rests in the provided screenshot) instead of either whole rest, half rest, or double whole rest in the 0-line staves. Any idea what I should do to ensure the rest symbols are correctly displayed in dorico-pro 5?
I would guess that you could see the exact position of these rests, when you had a one line staff.
The line underneath was not showing in the 0-stave templates. Is there any hack to ensure the line for half (minim) rest is correctly display?
The line does not display because you have chosen not to show the line (it’s a 0-line staff)!
I guess you could redefine the music symbol, but it would probably only work for a single rastral size (I’m no expert on this).
Actually Dorico provides these kind of rests in cues or multi-voices context, but I’m not sure if the whole thing is a symbol (I can’t find it amongst the symbols) or if Dorico adds a “ledger line” to the symbol.
Edit: obviously not an existing symbol, since you don’t get it in a 0-line-staff even in a multi-voice context. It must be a ledger line.
If you have to resort to entering the rests as Music Text, the Unicode code points are U+E4F4 and U+E4F5.

You could go to Library > Music Symbols and replace the glyphs for Half (minim) rest and Whole (semibreve) rest with restHalfLegerLine (U+E4F5) and restWholeLegerLine (U+E4F4):
