Hi,

You specified wrong field under field-visibility section. You put <show id="sc:legaldept" /> (which is your custom type) while your custom properties are called sc:lddoctype and scurpose. The same is with appearance section. You are specifying how the field should be rendered and not the content type.

In config file you are configuring appearance for your custom content type. For that purpose you defined element <config evaluator="node-type" condition="sc:legaldept">. Now inside that element you have to specify what fields (properties) shall be visible when you open details page. You do that under form –> field-visibility section by listing all properties (your custom and from parent type) you want to see on properties page.
