title: Field not displaying on list with Content types Inherits="False"
body: <p>I've defined a content type 'related links' and set Inherits="False" and added line to remove out-of-the-box 'title' field as I don't want it showing in the view or new/edit/display forms, see (OPTION 1) in CAML below.</p>

  <p>This does remove the 'title' field from the content type but when I try to associate the content type with a list it does not display the 'LinkCategory' field in the view or new/edit/display forms. Why is it so?</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?&gt;
  &lt;List xmlns:ows="Microsoft SharePoint"
        Title="Related Links"
        FolderCreation="FALSE"

        Url="Lists/RelatedLinksListDefinition"
        BaseType="0"
        EnableContentTypes="True"
        xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/sharepoint/"&gt;
      &lt;MetaData&gt;

              &lt;ContentTypeRef ID="0x0100c11a1db14e564574bc49a2aa9bf325d3" /&gt;
          &lt;/ContentTypes&gt;
          &lt;Fields&gt;
          &lt;/Fields&gt;
          &lt;Views&gt;
              &lt;View ...etc...&gt;
                  &lt;ViewFields&gt;
                      &lt;FieldRef Name="LinkCategory"&gt;&lt;/FieldRef&gt;
                  &lt;/ViewFields&gt;
                  &lt;Query&gt;
                      &lt;OrderBy&gt;
                          &lt;FieldRef Name="ID"&gt;&lt;/FieldRef&gt;
                      &lt;/OrderBy&gt;
                  &lt;/Query&gt;
              &lt;/View&gt;
          &lt;/Views&gt;
          &lt;Forms&gt;
              &lt;Form Type="DisplayForm" Url="DispForm.aspx"

                    SetupPath="pages\form.aspx" WebPartZoneID="Main" /&gt;
          &lt;/Forms&gt;
      &lt;/MetaData&gt;
  &lt;/List&gt;

  <p>As a work around I've set Inherits="True" on the content type and used (OPTION 2) in content type CAML and that hides the 'title' field, but would really like to understand what's going on here and what's the best approach to take. Thanks in advance!</p>

  <p>PSS: When I browse via SP Manager 2010 after deploying using OPTION 1, I get the following:</p>
  
  <ul>
  <li>'Link Category' Field created correctly</li>
  <li>'Related Links' Content Type created correctly with 'Link Category' field</li>
  <li>'Related Links' list created with 'Related Links' Content Type associated</li>
  <li>However 'Related Links' list has no reference to 'Link Category' Field.</li>
  </ul>
