Custom Field Displayed in Widget

I have added a custom field to my "Documents & Files" Content called "docVer".
I now want to display this custom field within the "Download List Widget".

I have edited the "Download List Widget" Template to include the custom field "docVer" by using a variation of the code the widget template uses for the "Document Type" field, as shown below. 
I simply replaced "documentType" with "docVer".

<telerik:GridBoundColumn UniqueName="documentType" HeaderText="<%$ Resources:Labels, Type %>" DataField="Extension" ItemStyle-CssClass="sfdownloadType" HeaderStyle-CssClass="sfdownloadType" />

However, I can not specify the field header, I assume this is because the header is called out in the CSS Class.  But I do not know where to create a new class for this widget.

Is this the correct process to add a custom field to a widget?  Can I specify a header for this field within the widget?

Thanks,

Hello David ,

I have a few questions:
1) About the problem with field header - Do you mean that changing the HeaderText="<%$ Resources:Labels, Type %>" - doesn't not result in showing a column header with the value of the 'Type' label inside Labels resource class?
2) Did you edit the template directly from the widget designer (Edit Thumbnail list template button).-> you need to do this so the specific instance of the widget is associated with the edited template and not with the default one.
3)Did you actually add a label - 'Type' in the Labels resource class (~/Sitefinity/Administration/Labels)
4) Try restarting the application. It seems that some caching is taking place and the changed template is not showing, also the added resource label might not  - this is a big we will get fixed soon.


All the best,

It contains explanation on how to add the field to the registration widget  in such a way that the value will be persisted when the user submits it.
