After generating a preview of a document using the edited form, the field does not display data.

The field has an incorrect binding created by Easy Form Editor. This can be seen when opening the template in Adobe LiveCycle Designer.

The Easy Form Editor is meant to be used to perform small changes in the form templates, such as titles, labels, which columns will be displayed in a table, etc. The Easy Form Editor may not be reliable to add extension fields to a table section.

You can use the Adobe LiveCycle Designer in order to add the extension fields to the form template, and properly control the binding of the data.
