I thought I could create multiple Record Types for my Custom Object and a corresponding Page Layout for each Record Type so that a different UI can be rendered depending on the Record Type.

For example, if I had a Custom Object called "Product" and we sell 3 different kinds of products, each with 10 custom fields unique to themselves, I thought I could add all 30 custom fields to my Product object and then create 3 Record Types, one for each thing we sell and a different Page Layout that just has the custom fields that relate to it.

Well I created all that, and made all the right Page Assignments, but when I click "New", it just goes to the Page Layout associated with the "Master" Record Type. (I figured "New" would now be forced to first ask me what kind of Product I wanted to create and then, depending on what I select (i.e. what Record Type I picked), it would then take me to whatever Page Layout was to be used for that Record Type.)

From searching this discussion board, it looked to me like maybe what I'm trying to do isn't supported with Custom Ojbect yet, but I just wanted to double check. Thanks in advance!
