Custom property with dropdown constraint do not show in edit or search form

sepgs2004

Environment: Community 5.2.x, Alfresco Maven SDK to generate repo and share tier AMP files

In my last project, I had all my properties in a custom aspect, and some properties with associated constraint (list of values). These properties were showing up as a dropdown in the search and edit forms in share. 

Now I have the properties directly associated to the type (instead of through aspects). Here, I do not see the dropdown list (to pick a value from) in the edit and the search form.

I am in some misunderstanding I believe. Please note that the field is shown as a regular text field.

My constraint:

<constraints>
   <constraint name="mcus:employeeNamesList" type="LIST">
      <parameter name="allowedValues">
      <list>
         <value></value>
         <value>Alan G</value>
         <value>Alex S</value>
         <value>Barb Sindy</value>
         <value>Bert Ser</value>
         ...
      </list>
     </parameter>
      <parameter name="caseSensitive">
         <value>true</value>
      </parameter>
      <parameter name="sorted">
         <value>false</value>
      </parameter>
</constraint>

Here is my type (with the property) defined in my model.

<type name="mcus:financeReceipts">
  <title>Financial Receipts</title>

  <property name="mcus:employeeName">
  <title>Employee Name</title>
  <type>d:text</type>
  <mandatory>false</mandatory>
  <index enabled="true">
    <tokenised>both</tokenised>
  </index>
  <constraints>
    <constraint ref="mcus:employeeNamesList" />
  </constraints> 
</property>

Part of share-config-custom.xml

<config evaluator="model-type" condition="mcus:financeReceipts">
	<forms>
		<!-- Search form -->
		<form id="search">
			<field-visibility>

				<!--custom-->
				<show id="mcus:employeeName"/>
			</field-visibility>

			<appearance>

				<!--custom-->
				<field id="mcus:employeeName" label-id="mcus.employeeName">
				<control template="/org/alfresco/components/form/controls/textfield.ftl" />
				</field>
			</appearance>
		</form>
	</forms>
</config>

It will be displaying property if the property on the form when aspect is applied (considering the property is defined in an aspect and aspect is not mandatory) to the node or property is present on the node (Check node browser using the nodeRef and see if you can see the newly added property). 

Have a look at share forms documentation shared earlier. It is worth looking at. 

if you want the property to display always, you can force it. 

Update the field definition as:

<show id="mcus:employeeName" force="true"/>
