Unfortunately the entire UI including form rendering mechanism has been changed up in Activiti 6 and while the engine and Rest API still support form properties, they are no longer taken into consideration when rendering forms in the Activiti 6 UI.

The options you have are to either:

1. Extend the existing render-form.js controller (as well as the task.js controller) to add form properties handlers.

2. Overload the new /app/rest/task-forms/<taskId> API to alternately use form Properties if a referenced form is not available.
3. Create your own UI.

Personally I like Option 2, but so far I am not aware of anyone looking into this piece of work.

Sorry,

Greg
