Description
We have massive form templates where we are rendering each form component manually. We should use custom widgets that render as bootstrap form controls. Most of our forms should then be able to be rendered without custom form templates.

Research direction
Start by inventorying the existing form templates and Django form or widget definitions involved in the massive forms. Trace how components are rendered manually and identify the Bootstrap form controls that custom widgets must cover. Done means the relevant forms render through Django form rendering without bespoke templates while retaining Bootstrap styling.
