Description

## Context

Support has noticed that people often miss "preset" form elements (email, phone, address, etc.) and other features such as "add other" or "repeating sets". As a result form builders / administrators may miss out on opportunities to collect better data, leverage validation functions, streamlined translations, etc.

## Opportunity

- We might consider outlining best practices for form design as reference documentation.
- There is an opportunity ahead with the ability to update live forms to improve form design accordingly.
- Support often notices these opportunities when helping users solve other problems, perhaps we can tag/track instances.
