Forms Designer doesn't load edited forms

Hello,

i made an upgrade of Forms Designer some time ago.
Everything seemed to work fine - I edited forms as usual.

Now I have a Problem with one certain list.
For this list I made some custom forms (New, Display an Edit) with Forms Designer a long time ago. All this forms are working fine.
Now I wanted to edit something but Forms Designer doesn't load the edited forms. In Forms Designer it looks like there is no custom form yet:

In SharePoint Designer I can see custom FD-Forms:

And the custom forms are also in use:

What can I do to edit existing custom forms with FD again?

Thanks in advance!

Hello, Michael!
You'll need to open Property Bag of your site and see if you have configuration for the forms or not - http://www.dotnetmafia.com/blogs/dotnet ... igner.aspx
It seems like you still have the forms, but the configuration appears to be missing.

Hi Nikita,

thanks for your reply.

I had to rename the list Name some time ago, that seemed to be the problem.
So I had to changed the property names in property bag manually - that worked.

Thanks for your Input that brought me to the solution!
