Would you mind posting the code for your complete xwd file, and I will take
a look at it?

If you are using 2.18 and a pages project, then when you make changes to
your xwd file in order to add new attribute fields you need to remember to

   1. open the pages xwd in xerte
   2. Select the top level entry (below the pageWizard folder
   3. Click the delete button (to delete the current xml content for the
   page)
   4. Close the form
   5. Re open the form
   6. Click the insert button to insert a new default page data into the xml

On completion of point 6 you should see the new form with your extra fields
displayed - if everything in your xwd file is as it should be.

Kind regards

Johnathan
