Creating comment or contact form doesn't set email field type

[bjarnef]

I noticed when creating a comment or contact form from default templates these add an email field, but these are just regular text input field.

I think these should set email as type by default instead.

Btw. is it possible to customize the templates if a specific project need another standard set of form fields?

Umbraco v10.2.0
Forms v10.1.2

Furthermore it seems comment or contact form doesn't respect DisableStylesheet in appsettings.json, but empty form does.

"Forms": {
  "FormDesign": {
    "Defaults": {
      "DisableStylesheet": true
    }
  },
  "Options": {
    "AppendQueryStringOnRedirectAfterFormSubmission": true
  }
}

I've made a couple of updates due in 10.2 related to this:

• Added the "email" field type setting for the two email fields.
• Added a configuration option: Umbraco : Forms : FormDesign : RemoveProvidedFormTemplates which can be set to true to remove the out of the box templates, provided via a Razor class library, from the list.

Can confirm you can create your own templates if you add them on disk at: \App_Plugins\UmbracoForms\Data\Templates\.

Not taking account of the configuration for DisableStylesheet is expected. The form template used has a setting for "disableDefaultStylesheet": false, and so this is used in preference to the configuration default (which is really only for when you create an empty form).

@AndyButland okay, then if we want to keep e.g. the default contact form template, but remove the comment form template is that possible? Furthermore can we modify "disableDefaultStylesheet": true of these standard templates? It seems we can't modify these directly as these are shipped with the static assets.

https://nuget.info/packages/Umbraco.Forms.StaticAssets/10.1.2

Would a \App_Plugins\UmbracoForms\Data\Templates\contactform.json override the existing? And it guess we can't just remove one of them (similar with standard email templates, although there is only one currently), but we have to remove both and could copy both commentform.json and contactform.json (or just one of them).

Yes, I'd suggest you would set the new configuration value RemoveProvidedFormTemplates to true. Copy the ones you want to keep to \App_Plugins\UmbracoForms\Data\Templates\ and modify them as you prefer.
