Trying to get new role to have edit permissions for custom content type

Not an answer to the question, but a workaround.

I found that using the Custom Post Type UI plugin to create the custom datatype would offer new capabilities, as long as I changed the Capability Type field.

Using the User Role Editor plugin seems to allow me to bridge the permissions with a custom user role.
