Description

The Plan screen's AutoWP Survey (Gridv2) seems quite broken in that it does not allow users to input an area that will be mapped. I would have expected it to use the user defined Polygon like other AutoWP features but instead it seems to have a built-in "Edit Box" feature. The colouring of the icons is odd (white) and the icons don't actually seem to work.

I vote for removing or fixing this screen. Perhaps we already have enough alternatives that this one isn't required.

Research direction

Start at the Plan screen's AutoWP Survey (Gridv2) entry point and reproduce the reported inability to enter a mapping area, the white icons, and the non-working Edit Box controls. Compare its area selection with other AutoWP features. Done means deciding whether to remove the screen or make it accept the user-defined polygon and provide working, correctly coloured controls.
