I'm using Renderable elements with Display Suite Forms to handle the display of node add/edit forms.

I would like to add a form field to my node edit form via hook_form_alter(). I don't want to create this field on the node.

Display Suite works well to show custom fields but only on the display of the node, not on the edit form.

I have added some fields to my node edit form, but they appear at the bottom. I have tried adding the field to $form['#groups']['my_field_group_name']['children'][] = 'my_custom_field_name' but that doesn't seem to work.

Do you have any advice on how to properly place these forms where I'd like them? Thanks.

If fields are registered with hook_field_extra_fields, they will be available on the Manage Fields page of the content type.

hook_field_extra_fields() - registers the fields so that they are available
hook_form_alter - adds the fields to the form in question
