Expected / Desired Behavior / Question

More customization options:

  1. Custom sort order
    It'd be nice if we could define the order each field is sorted in. It often makes sense to get users to fill in certain fields at the same time, so it should be a UX improvement.
  2. Ability to add additional fields
    Currently, we have the ability to override custom fields which is really amazing. But we don't have the ability to add new fields that don't exist on the list itself. The main reason I'm asking for this is because I'm trying to add custom actions i.e. the user fills in a few fields then presses a button to trigger automation and so on.

The main benefits of the above two requests are to be able to layout the form in a way that can do complex actions in a seamless way.

Research direction

Start by locating the Dynamic Form implementation in this TypeScript React controls repository and review how fields are currently ordered and customized. Define the expected behavior for custom sort order and adding fields that are not in the existing list, including custom actions. Done means both customization requests have a clear, tested implementation.
