Yeah, I don’t think this is something we want to encourage. @martin has a fair bit of context on this question as it relates to establishing the UI guidelines we came up with for the admin section overall a while back.

In general, we consider the admin section to be something we don’t want to be customized, if I recall correctly.

Yeah, I think treating this topic as #Contribute > UX makes more sense.

@jordan.vidrine I think this has some overlap with your earlier efforts to get things converted to formkit, as well as feedback on formkit itself.
