I'm trying to add a custom form by adding a webpart. I've noticed that when I click on the list tab > "form web parts" > "default edit form", it goes straight to the edit form and not to the section where I can add a web part.
Why is that happening?

That is not how you add a form webpart. That will just redirect you to EditForm.aspx. Instead try this:
Edit the page -> Add a page viewer web part by clicking on Add a web part. Once you've added the page viewer web part, edit the web part to show this URL: http://siteUrl/Lists/ListName/EditForm.aspx

@Raymound you should read up more on SharePoint basics. Check this: dummies.com/how-to/content/…. No need to click on new record. Just edit the page and add a webpart.Akhoy– Akhoy2015-08-13 17:25:43 +00:00Commented Aug 13, 2015 at 17:25

@Raymound You can also try appending this to your list URL.
?ControlMode=Edit&DisplayMode=Designto force it to show edit mode.Akhoy– Akhoy2015-08-14 06:06:45 +00:00Commented Aug 14, 2015 at 6:06 -
