You should open a blank instance of a data item using the form, then
click Tools -> Forms -> design this form. After you make your changes,
use Publish As and use a name that includes the version
number--MyForm_Ver002. That way you will avoid the form cache problems
and see the new form elements when you open a data item with the new
name. Go to the following page and read the section on how to convert
the data items that use the old name to using the new name.

the overall default) and convert existing items
