Have a look at the original share form config: tomcat/webapps/share/WEB-INF/classes/alfresco/share-form-config.xml

There you can see that the simple metadata dialog has a separate form definition. It can be set by using the form id="doclib-simple-metadata" in addition to the normal form that you already have defined.

<config evaluator="node-type" condition="zk:document">
<forms>
    <form>…. your full form here….</form>

    <form id="doclib-simple-metadata">
     <field-visibility>
        <show id="cm:name" />
        <show id="cm:title" force="true" />
        <show id="cm:description" force="true" />
        <!– tags and categories –>
        <show id="cm:taggable" for-mode="edit" force="true" />
        <show id="cm:categories" />
     </field-visibility>
   </form>
</forms>
</config>

It's also worth noting the extra parameter than Jan posted:

<edit-form template="../documentlibrary/forms/doclib-simple-metadata.ftl" />‍

This adds a little extra padding around the form (and also the link to the full edit metadata page) for use in the pop-up dialog.

Thanks,
