New table columns not shown in form design

I added three columns to my table, but they do not appear in the Fields tab in Configure | Form Design, even after I drop the cache, neither do they show up if I filter for them. The form design page acts as if it wants me to add the new columns from there -- but I already added them to the table. Is this normal? How do I go about adding fields to a form?

Hey Thomas,



can you check the dictionary, whether field really created on correct table or not.


Like in my screen shot:

Thomas,



What table did you add these on?


Adam,



They're on my custom table.



What I found is, I have to open Configure | Form Layout first, and there they appear all the way at the bottom. I have to select them and move them upward on that list, parking them where I want them to appear relative to some other field. Only then will they appear in Configure | Form Design. That's a little odd.


Thomas,



Is this table a stand alone or is this a child of another table?



The only thing I can think of is that the system had not run a full cache flush to bring the new data into view.
