Usually, you want a form to be the same in both new and edit. If
that's the case, you should override the form tag for the model in
your application.dryml file...
<extend tag="form" for="ModelClassYesInTitlecase">
<old-form merge>
<field-list:>
<note-view:>
<new input tag here />
</note-view:> # etc. close rest of tags
though, it actually looks like you only want to change the styling of
the text area. there is enough class names to be able to uniquely
target the text area input for that and change the size without having
to override any part of the tags.
also, you can't mix parameter calls (<note-tag:> for instance) with
non, <field-list ... />. dryml would not know where to put what in
other words.
