Hello,
There are a few different options here. I'd recommend first to consider using classification-based forms. This way you can get a proper form appearing using OOTB functionality when the user changes the classification of the ItemType.
One other thing you could do is open the part form in a new tab with aras.uiShowItem.
If you need to completely replace the form, I've found that the following code works from an onClick event of a button at least in R33.

Be aware that the form will be re-drawn to the original if you edit/refresh/etc.
Hey christopher_gillis , is there a way to make the item editable when using aras.uiShowItemInFrameEx? We have a use case where we want to display an item's form and would have a button on the form to save/apply the edits. As of now using the command we seem to just get a read-only version of the form.
I am interested in this question too!
Maybe some idea for you to copy. Make your own buttons!
I used aras.uiShowItemInFrameEx to get the target form and added a custom "Edit","Save","Abort" and "Refresh" button by myself:Looks great! I just found that if the view is set as 'edit' that it'll work for the use-case I want (making it editable), though it's not a total solution as still need to trigger some of the other default behaviors and such.
