Make form actions editable, the same way that fields are editable

[sabina-talipova]

Description

Currently actions for the front-end form can only be modified in code. It might be desirable to be able to edit these (e.g. edit the display text) in the CMS.

See:

silverstripe-userforms/code/Form/UserForm.php

Lines 138 to 160 in 071fba1

	* @todo Make form actions editable via their own field editor.
	*
	* @return FieldList
	*/
	public function getFormActions()
	{
	$submitText = ($this->controller->SubmitButtonText)
	? $this->controller->SubmitButtonText
	: _t('SilverStripe\\UserForms\\Model\\UserDefinedForm.SUBMITBUTTON', 'Submit');
	$clearText = ($this->controller->ClearButtonText)
	? $this->controller->ClearButtonText
	: _t('SilverStripe\\UserForms\\Model\\UserDefinedForm.CLEARBUTTON', 'Clear');
	$actions = FieldList::create(FormAction::create('process', $submitText));
	if ($this->controller->ShowClearButton) {
	$actions->push(FormAction::create('clearForm', $clearText)->setAttribute('type', 'reset'));
	}
	$this->extend('updateFormActions', $actions);
	$actions->setForm($this);
	return $actions;
	}

I'm going to close this as "won't do" - there's no way to allow CMS authors to modify the functionality of these actions, and allowing them to edit the text would likely result in inconsistencies for translated values. I don't see any value in implementing this.
