Actually I was doing this on an application we purchased from Column Technologies and I added a couple of dozen fields and can't find any of them on the View. I find them on the T table just not the view. I figured it would cause less questions if I used CTM:People as my example since I did add about 5 fields there and they are not showing either. Straight from BMC Support: Below are my findings on this issue. 1. Currently we do not have a view in which the field on the overlay form is stored as it may hamper the AR Server Performance. 2. Kindly pick up the field on the basis of its 'field id' from the <field> and the <field_char> table. All the fields in the AR System are listed in these tables. select * from field where fieldname = <fieldname> select * from field_char where fieldid = <fieldid> 3. select * from field where schemaid=<schema_id> output: this will display all the fields on the form with schemaid <schema_id> together with the properties of the fields and customized field added would be included in this table 4. You can also refer view 'AR_System_Metadata__field' to get more information about the fields created in AR System.

I built a form in Base mode.... then switched to best practice mode and added a field. The form then properly showed as 'Overlaid'. I opened up SQL Management tool (sql server 2005) and looked at the available columns in the view that was auto-generated for that form. The new field (the one created in the overlay) was present. So, it's interesting to me if it doesn't work for the OOB ITSM forms. Must be some other magic going on. :-) Enjoy, Matt R.

Normally I would use the view to do this so that my query is the same on all environments. But when I look in the database I am not seeing the new field.
