Description

This would be a nice feature to have, linking users to an individual project setting is always a little awkward. We could fairly easily have id attributes on the form elements, giving support a way to link to https://beta.readthedocs.org/dashboard/test-builds/edit/#form-default-version or similar.

This would be similar to the build detail view, and the field would have some amount of highlighting or visual cue that it's the highlighted field.

Research direction

Start by locating the form used by the dashboard/test-builds/edit/ page and compare it with the build detail view mentioned in the issue. Add stable IDs for individual form fields and a visual cue for a targeted field; done means the linked URL focuses and highlights that field.
