I cannot see a custom field in form layout but I can see it in table

I have created a custom field u_imputation_group in the pm_project table. I want to show this field in the form of all project tasks associated but I cannot find it. However, if I want to show it in the table view I can find it. The problem is that when I extend all fields related with top project in the form layout of the table, a greater number of related fields appear. The path I followed in the table is "Top project>u_imputation_group". Anybody knows how I could do it?

The reason you cannot see it in the form layout is that the reference field "Top Project" and "Project" [sub_tree_root] are referencing table planned_task, not pm_project. Hence you have the ability to add fields that are included in planned_task schema. 

You could have the custom field on planned_task level, then you can add the field to your project task forms.
