Description

For content management (admin area) it would make sense to prevent the web browser (MF) from remembering the input value on refresh. This can be done, for example, by deactivating the AutoComplete feature for input and textarea elements.

autocomplete="off"

If this is already known, I would be very interested in why this was not implemented?

Thanks in advance!

Research direction

No file, test, or entry point is identified in the issue. Locate the admin-area rendering for input and textarea elements, then check how browser autocomplete is currently configured. Done means the relevant content-management fields no longer retain values after refresh, with coverage or a manual check confirming both element types.
