I've a problem with the Kofax Release Script for Alfresco.

I have a custom type in Alfresco and i can see it in the web client interface of Alfresco but i cannot see the properties in Ascent.

Do i forget to set something in the XML file?

Versions used: Ascent: 7.50.139, Alfresco: 2.1, Kofax Release Script for Alfresco: 1.0.1

After we made this change, the properties started showing up in the Ascent dialogue. Good luck.
In your types section, try defining your properties as mandatory aspects.
Here is an example of one, and you can take it from there.

<types>
  <type name="sc:doc">
    <title>TestCustomType</title>
    <parent>cm:content</parent>
    <mandatory-aspects>
      <aspect>sc:name</aspect>
    </mandatory-aspects>
  </type>
</types>
<aspects>
  <aspect name="sc:name">
    <title>Name</title>
    <properties>
      <property name="sc:name">
        <title>Name</title>
        <type>d:text</type>
        <mandatory>true</mandatory>
      </property>
    </properties>
  </aspect>
  *** REPEAT ABOVE FOR THE REST OF YOUR ASPECTS ***
</aspects>
