No, if this is a 'base' form, and you want to add a field, you would add a Custom field in Best Practice Mode....you should almost never need to go into Base mode, certainly not to add a field.
Regarding it not showing up in Mid-Tier properly. Remember that your web server gets its cache from the app server. I have seen people describe scenarios where they make the change on the primary in a server group, and then later find that one of the secondary servers didn't 're-cache', and mid-Tier was getting the cache from THAT server, so it wasn't all sync'd....so, if you have multiple servers, ensure that they all have the latest definitions, then flush your Mid-Tier cache on all nodes, then flush your local browser cache. There has to be a reason why it's not showing properly, but unless you have some weird configs (which do exist), it shouldn't be because there are fields in Overlay/Custom.
