Custom form for content type not working in project server 2013

Question

I am using visual studio to create a custom content type. On the project site, I added the content type to the task list and unchecked all other content types,  when I edit the task item I want to open a custom page but not working.

I test the content type in the sharepoint site collection not "project server site collection"  it is working properly, so I want to know what I missing ??

the content type code as below :

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<Elements xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/">
  <!-- Parent ContentType: Workflow Task (SharePoint 2013) (0x0108003365C4474CAE8C42BCE396314E88E51F) -->
  <ContentType ID="0x0108003365C4474CAE8C42BCE396314E88E51F000D78E6BAB56647FFAA187FE0FC6566E5" Name="ct_customform" Group="custom group" Description="custom content type" Inherits="TRUE" Version="0">
    <FieldRefs></FieldRefs>

      <XmlDocuments>
          <XmlDocument NamespaceURI="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3/contenttype/forms/url">
              <FormUrls xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/v3/contenttype/forms/url">
                 
                  <Edit>pages/customform.aspx</Edit>
                
              </FormUrls>
          </XmlDocument>
      </XmlDocuments>

Thanks for posting this issue, I have faced the same today and your answer helped me

Answer 1

I fixed this issue by doing the following:

• Change inherits="false" instead of "true".
• Also create your own custom Tasklist, and don't use the default Task list or the workflow tasks list in Project Site
