Custom form for custom type not used by form engine

I have defined my own form for a model type to play with the FDK I successfully installed (I can access the form console).

I use Alfresco Enterprise 3.4RC1?

Here is my model:

<model name="perfs:model" xmlns="http://www.alfresco.org/model/dictionary/1.0">
   <description>Perfs Model</description>

In alfresco/web-extension I have crated the sahre-config-custom.xml file and I can say that the file is laoded since I was able to set the client-debug tag to true which pops up the javascript log4j console:

<alfresco-config>
   <!– Global config section –>
   <config replace="true">
      <flags>
         <!– Developer debugging setting to turn on DEBUG mode for client scripts in the browser –>
         <client-debug>true</client-debug>

         <!– LOGGING can always be toggled at runtime when in DEBUG mode (Ctrl, Ctrl, Shift, Shift). This flag automatically activates 
            logging on page load. –>
         <client-debug-autologging>true</client-debug-autologging>
      </flags>
   </config>

   <config evaluator="node-type" condition="perfs:PerfType">
      <forms>
         <form id="perfs-form">                                       
            <edit-form template="/fdk/templates/tab-edit-form.ftl" />

I have create a dummy model and store instacnes of the custom type into the repository in a space just under the company_home. With share, I use the repository button to navigate to my instance and I can see it. I checked with the explorer's node browser that the node is of the correct type.

I do not see any error in the logs.

I am wrong somewhere and any help would be great.

Regards.

I have the same problem. I just upgraded from Alfresco Enterprise 3.3.3 to 3.4 on my development server. This worked fine in the old version.

I haven't changed my custom forms at all in share-config-custom.xml. However, when I click Edit Metadata the form shows all of properties on the document and not just the ones that I have specified in the form customization. It seems to be ignoring my customization.

Any ideas?
