Need 12 column form, split into two columns of 6

Question

Using bootstrap 4 alpha 6

I have a contact form that is supposed to look like this:

Using the following code, I am able to get two columns of 6, but the fields are all wrong. This is the code for the section:

<section id="contact">
    <div class="container">
        <div class="row">
            <div class="col-md-12">
                <h2>Contact Us</h2>
                <hr width="30%">
                <p>Need to get in touch? Fill in the form below for more information</p>
            </div>
        </div>
        <div class="row">
            <form class="form-inline col-md-12" role="form">
                <div class="col-md-6">
                    <fieldset class="form-group">
                        <input type="email" class="form-control" id="email" placeholder="email...">
                    </fieldset>
                    <fieldset class="form-group">
                        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="name" placeholder="name...">
                    </fieldset>
                    <fieldset class="form-group">
                        <input type="text" class="form-control" id="subject" placeholder="subject...">
                    </fieldset>
                </div>
                <div class="col-md-6">
                    <fieldset class="form-group">
                        <textarea name="" id="message" rows="3" class="form-control" placeholder="message..."></textarea>
                    </fieldset>

                    <button type="submit" class="btn btn-outline-info btn-block">Submit</button>
                </div>
            </form>
        </div>
    </div>
</section>

This is what the form looks like with the above code:

As you can see, the columns are split correctly, but the fields are not populating the entire width of the columns. I looked at it in firebug, and it shows the form-inline class having a width: auto.

 .form-inline .form-control {
     display: inline-block;
     vertical-align: middle;
     width: auto;
 }

If I shut off width: auto; in firebug, then the controls populate the full width of the six columns. I can fix this in my own stylesheet by adding a new class and doing this:

 .contact-control 
 {
    width: 100% !important;  
 }

I am just wondering if there's a better way to do it, using existing classes in bootstrap.

I case if you add form tag to it and it not work. I have very good example here, with any CSS

<div class="container">
   <div class="row">
      <div class="col-md-12">
         <h4 class="heading">Utvärderingsformulär RETTS Nära Pilot - (Tranås VC)</h4>
         <hr>
      </div>
   </div>
   <form id="datainsamlingForm" method="POST" target="no-targer">
      <div class="row">
         <div class="col-md-6">
            <label class="control-label">App version number</label>
            <select class="form-control">
               <option>Version 1</option>
               <option>Version 2</option>
               <option>Version 3</option>
            </select>
         </div>
         <div class="col-md-6">
            <div class="form-group">
               <label class="control-label">Push Message</label>
               <p class="help-block"><small>Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet, consectetur adipiscing elit, sed do eiusmod tempor incididunt</small></p>
               <input type="text" class="form-control" id="inputSuccess1">

      <hr>

      </div>
      <hr>
   </form>
</div>

I think it must be better to use div with class form-group rather than fieldset.I hope this may help.
