Can't see any custom fields when 'adding new item' to custom list

Question

As title says, I can only see the 'Title' field when adding a new item to my custom list.

Any ideas?

I've double checked the field definitions and checked the field references are in both default views. No problems there.

I can create the list using the definitions, and I can add new list items, and the custom fields are disblayed in the list table and in list settings - but not in the 'Add New Item' dialog.

EDIT: I think this may be because my custom list definitions are inheriting from the 'Item' content type if this is of any use to anyone about to suggest an answer!?

The solution being:

"Remove the content type reference from the markup..."
