RenderingTemplate for ListForm Type

Question

I created a custom RenderingTemplate "viewInventory" copy of ListForm rendering template. It looks like below. Then I associated the Rendering Template to a content type (this is list type content type) EditFormTemplateName. But it seems the list is not even using this controltemplate because I put a vogus name for editformtemplatename and sharepoint did not complaint about it.

This exact scenario works for document renderingtemplate. Go figure.

any idea(s)??? link text Thanks

1. All I had to do is to associate "viewInventory" with both NewFormTemplateName and EditFormTemplateName of the content type through Sharepoint Manager 2007. (or you could do it feature attributes)
