Description

#1893 handles instance create, which is the worst offender because the POST takes a long time to come back. But strictly speaking, every other form has the same problem. We could manually wire up every form with disabled props on every field, like in #1893, but it would probably be better if we could find a more automatic way.

Someone asked about this here but didn't get an answer:

RHF recently (in v7.48.0) added a way to pass disabled to useForm, and then it might automatically get passed into all registered fields. Worth exploring!

Research direction

Start by reviewing the console's useForm calls and the existing instance-create handling described in #1893. Check how React Hook Form v7.48.0 propagates the top-level disabled option, then identify the forms that need it and verify that submissions disable all registered fields while the request is pending.
