  • Open SP Designer
  • In left side, click on "List and Libraries" in Site objects pane.
  • All lists and libraries will open in right pane.
  • Single click the desired list name.
  • In extreme right side you can see a Forms Pane with list of all forms(Default and your custom forms).
  • Select(single click) you custom form.
  • In highlighted ribbon you can see a option "Set as Default". Click it, and your custom form is set to default.

You will have a Set as Default button visible in the ribbon if you select the form. Go to Lists and Libraries -> Choose List -> In the forms section, choose your form -> Click on Set as Default in the top ribbon.

Open your site in SharePoint Designer and navigate to your list. In the Forms section, select your custom newform.aspx page and in the Ribbon click Set as Default.

    After adding the changes when I went back to the list and clicked the new item, its still navigating to the old newform.aspx.Its not pointing to my newcustomform.aspx which I made as a default newform.aspx.Any idea why this is happening? I saved my page and checked-in also.

If you want this to be set up automatically. You can create a custom list definition and change the Form-Node e.g.:

<List>
...
  <MetaData>
    <Forms>
     <Form Type="DisplayForm" Url="DispForm.aspx" SetupPath="pages\form.aspx" WebPartZoneID="Main" />
     <Form Type="EditForm" Url="EditForm.aspx" SetupPath="pages\form.aspx" WebPartZoneID="Main" />
     <Form Type="NewForm" Url="NewForm.aspx" SetupPath="features\$SharePoint.Feature.DeploymentPath$\mynewcustomform.aspx" WebPartZoneID="Main" />
    </Forms>
  </MetaData>
</List>
