I tried creating a default database to which I copied one of my custom templates.
This is the custom template in the source database:

Name:  Custom-Item.jpg
Views: 225
Size:  33.7 KB

Two attributes of this template are custom: Hours (string) and Holdings (string); the rest are "built-in" attributes.
After copying this template item to the template folder of the default db it displays like this:

Name:  Custom-Item-after-copy.jpg
Views: 230
Size:  28.6 KB

A repository Form is created but it does not have the Hours and Holdings attributes,
although lines have been reserved for them.

Name:  Custom-form-after-copy.jpg
Views: 140
Size:  43.1 KB

Also, the Attributes list does not contain Hours and Holdings.
I used the Edit menu's Copy and Paste commands.
Do I need to use a different procedure?

Thanks for your help.
