add new editable field for tfs work item

I am editing an existing work item type which we have called "Requirement". To this I wish to add an additional string field that we can edit the value, search and sort on.

Using the TFS Process Editor I am able to edit the Requirement work item type in a GUI environment. With this open, I created a field modeled after an existing field. I then open the Layout tab and add this new field to the layout.

When I open an existing Requirement work item, the label for the new field is there, but no control appears to edit the value.

I can't figure out what I am missing. Can someone direct me what the missing step is please?

Thanks!

On the Fields tab, have you set the Type of the new field to String? On the Layout tab, have you set the Type property of the control to FieldControl?
