I have created my own custom workflow (for now this is just adhoc workflow customization) and i have managed to customize start workflow form, however a can not customize second form, this is edit task form (when user start process and assign to “someone”, “someone” get task in inbox and he see edit task form). This second form is the same as my first plus some extra fields. This is because i need that “someone” can view and edit data entered on start workflow form. So i basically copied first form configuration to second form but this doesn’t work, only sets and textareas are rendered. Anybody now how can i customize this?

I think that you are not seeing any fields because mcwm:preparationOfProjectCharter task has no properties that you are trying to display.
If you want the same properties on second task that you have on first task you will have to define them in your task model.
If the properties are exactly the same and repeating a lot, you can specify them as an aspect and add them as mandatory aspect in task model.
